"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

CNN.com - Iran says it will cooperate with nuclear agency - Apr 13, 2006

Hmmm, this is unexpected. I would have thought we would see eye to eye on this. Interesting.

As Bill Clinton said recently in reference to Bush's "if I didn't take military action this very day, people would look down their nose at America and think we were weak,"' attitude. "To that, Clinton said, he always posed a question: '"Can we kill him tomorrow? If we can kill him tomorrow, then we're not weak."'

So, I guess we continue with the limper than "soft power" that Bill and the U.N. are used to. This will definately help bring us back to "the good old days."

That's how we define "action."
