Democrats are pretty passive when it comes to foreign policy though, much of the time they prefer the UN to sort it out via diplomacy and negotiations with our support of course. Its not a mystery that during the Clinton years, Al-Queda became strong, as did other nations that seem to bitterly rule in disfavor of the United States. Clinton reduced the military, closed bases, etc. While thats not all bad of course, it did allow the world to breathe again as thats not always good with irresponsible countries who have no idea and cant control what the fuck is going on within their borders. Yes Bush was a pompous asshole who didnt mind taking ahold of the reigns so to speak and hastily make decisions--for better or worse, but he did it. In a way, i do respect that and sure enough people dont fuck with us of course. Its just too bad he was an arrogant bastard and jumped the gun on many issues which led to his demise as a leader prompting the fact when it all became clear and exposed it led to a few things that were constued as misleading, etc. And for that im disappointed.
We'll see if Obama has balls, though. Actually as much as it sounds like me being an asshole, id like to see a hostile situation arise where he keeps his composure and has that candor a leader in his position is supposed to possess and handle it with dignity and gracefulness. Should he be weak, then he's just going to lose respect around the world as a leader and others will take advantage of his inability to capitalize. To just step on a snake by the throat and cut the fuckers head off, will he be able to do that? Or will he call an exterminator who overcharges and doesnt do the job hes capable of doing? Time will tell, time will tell.
