And I would add to number 2 in that it's more than just the rule of law, but also about stabilizing your own country and fixing it first.

However, my solution is to understand two things: (1)what is great about American "Democracy" is the dedication to the rule of law and not just the presence of elections; (2) the best foreign policy is leadership by example - make the rule of law and stability attractive by being just and merciful and terrorists will increasingly find the world is not interested in joining, funding or hiding them. <BR/><BR/>What has become of American foreign policy today is a sad rejection of everything America's "Greatest Generation" fought for in WWII.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134613201384730701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489111.post-13451842644025567262007-11-05T19:36:00.000-07:002007-11-05T19:36:00.000-07:00Brendan was just kidding, Webs.
