And that is the reason why foreign policy conservatives always get it wrong. they always screw everything up. going it alone is not the answer. look at the situation with Russia. How can McCain say that "You don't invade countries in the 21st century." How the hell can he say that!! AFGHANISTAN IRAQ!!

We have no credibility and also no leverage. We are completely bogged down in two wars and have no way of protecting ourselves at home, should something bad happen, nor defend our allies abroad. Conservative foreign policy is a recipe for disaster. George W. Bush proved that.

ABsolutely right, Punk. Conservative foreign policy a la Bush has destroyed our relationship with the rest of the world. It is the worst possible approach as is evidenced by the last 8 years.
And McCain...WOW he actually said that? Excuse me, i have to go pick up my jaw off the floor. What a hypocritical clown.

Do you think race has anything to do with this? I heard Mr. Powell speak in Louisville this past Winter and unfortunately, I picked up some racial frustrations in his speech. I hated it too as I felt he was truly above such reverse discriminatory attitudes.

How so?

Our relationship with France, Germany, England is as strong as ever. We are together with our NATO allies. We have cooperation from governments around the WORLD for the War on Terror.

Can you name some examples of where our relationship has been DESTROYED?
