...candidate’s policies. Why is President George Bush so convinced that China would leave the bargaining table and pout if the United States facilitated bilateral talks between the Koreas? Does John Kerry have a real exit strategy for Iraq, or is he just relying on the questionable notion that the rest of the world will swoop in from the wings to aid a Kerry administration stuck with President Bush’s mess? The American people missed out on a vital layer of complexity Thursday night. And the sad part is that the debate went...
...1960s and the sporty "Beene bag" dress in the '70s, and in the early '90s used ballerinas as models to demonstrate the ethereal lightness of his designs.

The notion that a single political philosophy best serves the needs of a nation is simplistic, arrogant and dangerous. Effective leadership requires the ability to distribute dissatisfaction across all parties. Bush's brand of leadership lacks both discernment and the courage to confront his conservative power base...
