Interesting Quotes on Foreign Policy

I've just come across some interesting quotes about foreign policy. Try to guess the source:

"I'm not so sure the role of the United States is to go around the world and say, 'This is the way it's got to be'...I think one way for us to end up being viewed as 'the ugly American' is for us to go around the world saying 'We do it this way; so should you.'"

I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called 'nation building.' I think what we need to do is to convince the people who lived in the lands [themselves] to build the nations. Maybe I'm missing something here -- we're going to have kind of a 'nation building corps' from America?"

The above quotes come from then Governor George W. Bush, in 2000 when he was making his first run for the Presidency.

The Bush legacy:

  • Big Government
  • Higher spending
  • More government control
  • Thousands of Americans dead
  • The destruction of the reputation of America abroad.
And there are people who are proud of this man?

There are good candidates out there. Donate to one of them.
