teddy2 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 What is America’s style of foreign policy? Many people think it’s bluff mainly with lots of habitual empty promises on American part. I guess we owe this to Condi. Condi Rice’s job in the context is sheer trash imo. I tend to think she enjoys being a dazzler rather (remember how she wowed the crowds in Wiesbaden by arriving in knee-high leather boots). And unfortunately she hates routine work. Add here her inability to admit to error and here you are with the conclusion. Rice is actually wildly nonprofessional as state sec though she is intelligent and energetic! As her current job draws to an end it’s become painfully visible. With Condi there are always lots of words and one-sided benefits for America. They say even closest allies are sick and tired of that style …to say nothing of other countries. For latest elucidation see Rice’s last visit to Moscow in company with Def Sec Robert Gates. It was a failure actually (no results due to lack of any weighty proposals for Moscow). Meanwhile Bush with his rating downgraded absolutely needs any diplomatic success badly. I guess Moscow, a key international player now, could be very helpful in US Broader Middle East agenda e.g., in Iran and other countries of the region. Quote

jbg Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Yea...that's what the Taliban and Saddam thought too.Does anyone have a better suggestion for American foreign policy? Can I hear the OP saying "Jimmy Carter" and "Neville Chamberlain". Or perhaps "Louis Riel" and "Benedict Arnold"? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
Topaz Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Why nation get into trouble about foreign policy starts at the election. Everyone was sick of Clinton so they vote for Bush for change. Yeah, the world got change alright! If you go back to the debates with Gore I think Bush lied about almost everything he said. I remember he said he didn't believe that the US shouldn't used the military to build nations! Now , we know he had plans of going into Iraq from the start! This US election coming up is very impotant because whoever gets the job as president, will hold peace or war in their hands for the WORLD not just the US. I've read that Bush wants to go into Iran before the election but now Russia and China may be in his way, although I think Bush is losing his mind if he tries! Quote

The WORLD was no paradise before President Bush was elected...and re-elected AFTER the Iraq invasion. Even Clinton and Chretein rained iron from the sky. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Guest trex Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Americans uses money to control everything, thats their economic warfare, which in a way is still better than directly using bombs. Only problem they get bombed once in a while, by people who are tired of being poor and starving. So then they gotta go to war, bomb some of them brown-skinned people. The foriegn policy is, new world order, USA, now that slavery is freedom, lies are the truth, war is peace, all hail Ceasar and MacDonalds! hail hail! So bless them, and bless our murderering sons and daughters, for raining death down on people in faraway lands, so that they become free. Quote

America has never been bombed by poor and starving people. Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us

Why don't you count for us. I suspect it is an many times as I please, and judging by your post, it still works! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 America has never been bombed by poor and starving people. Technically this is false....a "poor and starving" Japan would send over 9,000 antipersonnel and incendiary balloon bombs to Canada and USA during 1944-1945. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
