>I hear that too, but dont understand why. Foreign Policy has been a nightmare for Bush (except Afganistan and Libya). Problems in just about every front on international issue - Iraq, Iran/N. Korea, "roadmap", Germany/France/Russia, Kyoto breach etc. Yeah, it's kind of strange, but it's just that the Republicans have the people convinced that they're the "stronger" party, and people worried about security tend to side with those whom they perceive as strong. Americans tend to be more friendly to the Dems on domestic issues, mostly because they like the presence of safety nets. -Z

I hear that too, but dont understand why. Foreign Policy has been a nightmare for Bush (except Afganistan and Libya). Problems in just about every front on international issue - Iraq, Iran/N. Korea, "roadmap", Germany/France/Russia, Kyoto breach etc. Yeah, but foreign policy also includes the war on terror. And most Americans think Bush 'owns' the war on terror.........and that's because traditionally most Americans are not terribly informed nor interested when it comes to foreign issues. They hear about the problems in Iran/NK and don't much care about the Kyoto Protocol. The fact that Kerry was able to steal Bush's thunder on this issue is significant. BTW welcome to the thread. ted
