The Joy Of Fools

clipped from online.wsj.com Want more George W. Bush foreign policy? Elect John McCain – or Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Regardless of who wins in November, the current foreign policy will live on in the next White House. None of the main candidates has disavowed the war on terror. Each has called Mr. Bush tactically deficient. But the debate over the war on terror is over how, where and when. The candidates have all argued that they would do a better job of fighting it. Certain aspects of anti-Americanism are essentially immune to what any president does. The U.S. can bomb Christians to protect Muslims, as it did in Bosnia in 1994-1995 and Serbia in 1999, and still somehow augment the fury of radical Islamists. rising expectations in and outside America for rapid foreign-policy transformation are likely to lead to disappointment. As a Romanian proverb reminds us: "A change of leaders is the joy of fools."

Since O is actually the Manchurian Candidate, I question the belief that he will actually keep American interests in mind.

His budding walkback on Iraq -- if it survives the rigors of the dem nomination and the general election -- is no more to be counted on than anything else he says. Zip, zilch, nada.

His bus is already immobilized atop a pile of human flesh and will achieve low earth orbit based on numerous further victims by the election as far as I can tell.
