Answer 1

It sounds disturbingly...familiar...if you ask me, seems like this is the boiler plate commentary/talking point to make when you have no concrete foreign policy insights.

"If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us; if we're a humble nation, but strong, they'll welcome us. And our nation stands alone right now in the world in terms of power, and that's why we've got to be humble, and yet project strength in a way that promotes freedom." - George W. Bush, Jr. , Oct 12. 2000


"The United States, as the world's only superpower, is less vulnerable to military defeat. But it is more vulnerable to the animosity of other countries. Much like a top high school student, if it is modest about its abilities and achievements, if it is generous in helping others, it is loved. But if it attempts to dominate others, it is despised." - Pastor Michael Huckabee, Foreign Affairs Quarterly, Fall/Winter/2007

Answer 2

I think Gov. Huckabee talks a good line; but I doubt if he knows anything at all about foreign policy.

Answer 3

If we made a catalogue of former presidents without remote places family journey, it could be long. The sitting president has none, and he isn't doing so properly. the previous president had none, and he did ok. Ronald Reagan had none, and he did ok. the main ingredient to seem at is who his advisors would be. And besides the certainty that he in basic terms stated some names on MSNBC this morning, there substitute into no indication that the human beings he stated (John Bolton between others) could easily be in his cupboard.

Answer 4

Let me get to that question in few days.
