Opti, I am optimistic that Bush is indeed visioning this as a great epic stuggle.... I however agree with you that some of his rhetoric though nice for sound bites for American TV is not serving him well in foreign policy. I think Powell should be flying more and meeting with leaders IN PERSON in their countries - which is a sign of respect.

There are many things Bush could be doing differently, however I see them as more a small part of form and function, the BIG picture, the real issue is winning the war on terrorism - which is going to be going on for our lifetime... Bush understands this, and is doing what he thinks he has to, to win it.

Though he could be going about things in a smoother, more diplomatic ( less cowboy) way, he is still going to get the job done. He swore the protect the people of the United States, and I think he will do that.... even if it means pissing off some of our historic allies, and of course the french.

The war on terrorism/Islamic Fundemtnalism has been going on since the 80s... mostly as a low intensity conflict, but since 9-11 it has heated up, and should be this countries #1 priority. We cannot follow the path of the appeasers... that lesson continues to haunt us ( WWII, Clinton with N. Korea, Iraq, etc....)

This is a Epic world wide battle, one we must win!
