RealClearPolitics - Articles - The Only Issue This Election Day
A voice of reason in a crazy political time. What troubles me is the fickleness of American voters. The idea that 'momentum,' hatred and vicious partisanship are substitutes for sound foreign policy at a time of dire threats to America and Western civilization is very disturbing. National politics is all about power for American politicians. Where are the statesmen we need to look after the welfare of the country?
Perhaps they're buried in the ranks of career diplomats and military specialists whose names we never hear.
In any event, after this mid-term election we will have two years of gridlock in Washington as both parties act to position themselves for the 2008 Presidential election. Meanwhile the radical Islamists will continue their bloodletting.
The good news is that the economy is doing well, despite the naysayers, and the price of oil has come back to reasonable levels.
Now that the Democrats have 'won' in Washington, I am waiting to hear their foreign policy proposals. 'Getting out of Iraq' won't cut it if they're serious about the war on terror.
