The article being discussed is World Watches for new sign of US approach abroad. What is argued is the way n which president Bush will deal with foreign policy now that the democrats are in control of the House and Senate. Well to be frank it is easy to see what will happen with American foreign policy when the democrats get control, try to make everyone happy by peaceful means. The article speaks of how the Russians will be allowed to join the World Trade Organization. Thank go the man behind the iron curtain, Vladimir Putin (not Stalin), will not be in power for much longer because Russia is one of Americas silent enemies. They are the biggest arms dealers in the world and have no morals. Also they wish, like most socialist European nations that Americans are just big bullies. On a even creepier level the Iraqi Survey Group is expected to say that the allies in the war on terror should consult the help of other nations in the region. One of the nations that we should ask for help is Iran, in this proposal. Yes, I can just see it now George Bush calling the president of Iran and asking for his help in Iraq. Were these people hibernating when the Iranian leaders say that we will not rest until an Islamic Flag is raised over the White House. I don’t know about you but I do not want help from this Islamic Fascist. The sad thing is this has happened before.

Imagine yourself in the mid to late 1930’s. A man with impressive oratory skills rises to power. Your “diplomats” all tell you the same thing this man is no threat to anybody. You then begin to hear that people are being taken away from their homes and relocated. Again your leaders say that he is nothing. As an offer of peace the man is given a country by the name of Czechoslovakia. Yet again your leaders say that he is not willing to go to war. Well you know what, I bet that Poland begs to differ. Our leaders said that he was not a threat and we believed them, why should we do the same today?

The truth is that we face an enemy that parallels only one that we have ever fought in our existence. The way we ended that was with the most powerful weapon known to man, nuclear bombs. From then on the Russians had a fear of the Americans. This was because whenever the confrontation can down to the wire they knew we were willing to go that extra step. Now, we are not feared, we are not even respected. So, I say go back to the foreign policy that works
