What a dignified, experienced, and committed candidate. Although he isn't my favorite(Biden), I still consider him to be one of the best candidates. In the latest issue of Foreign Affairs, Bill Richardson has a personal essay on the upcoming issues we face as a nation and as a world. Very informative and right on point... here is an excerpt.
"The Bush Administration's policies have weakened our alliances, emboldened our enemies, depleted our treasury, exhausted our armed forces, and fueled global anger against us. From global warming to weapons of mass destruction, to the number of troops that would be needed to pacify Iraq, this President has preferred ideology to evidence. Rather than doing the hard, patient, necessary work of strategic diplomacy he has indulged the fantasy that he could reorder the world through unilateralism and bullying."
"A New Realism" By Bill Richardson Foreign Affairs January/February 2008
A well-written essay by a great person and democrat.
