I perceive President Bush as superior in international diplomacy to Clinton in every respect. Clinton cut and ran from every Al Quaeda attack and predictably each Al Quaeda attack got progressively worse. President Bush has reversed the trend and to a large extent denied Al Qaeda safe haven around the world.

Clinton gave NK the capacity to manufacture nuclear warheads. How is that a superior diplomatic accomplishment? Clinton gave China missile launch capability. How is that a superior diplomatic accomplishment?

"Short term ambitions overriding long term planning seems to be the mantra of the Bush administration."

You read too much leftwing media. Clinton was all about id; how could he get head today; lets poll to find out what I think; etc. The WOT is all about long term objectives. The WOT requires long term actions that cause short term unpopularity for the long term objectives.

"When China and Russia see Iran and N. Korea, they don't see a "nuclear armed people bent on their destruction", they see a nuclear armed people bent on OUR destruction."

Do they think that they are not infidels?
