I would vote Bush.
We have seven states here with 'independent' government but overruled by federal laws. The good ole USA is no different. Why should the world turn without an ultimate set of laws. We can't function as a country without them so why should we expect the globe to differ.
Yeah, I know, I'm, yet again, oversimplifying but that's often a pseudonym for 'the bottom line'.
I would be content, not happy, content with a world government. Bush is aware of this need. He can hardly be expected to produce the perfect model but he's on the right track.
The "other 100+" countries allegedly alienated is simply a bunch of irrelevant folk who feel perfectly safe dissenting. The man doesn't drop on those who don't need droppin' on. Why would he?
He was ferociously heckled when he adressed Aus parliament last year and his response?
" This is why I love free speech"
Does anybody truly believe Dubyaisms are for real. Maybe the first one coulda possibly slipped through the spin machine but, honestly, nucular? If you want votes you gotta tap into the lowest denominator. The 'machine' knows this.
He may not be the smartest leader but he's not so dumb as to assume he's got all the answers. He's happy to listen to smarter people.
