re: being well-regarded by the rest of the world is a bad thing.
That's what conservatives think.
Let's pretend they're right.
Bush did precisely that and everybody sees where it lead to.
Conservatives think they don't need others..;Fine, great, therefore we (I mean ROW) don't get involved in unnecesseary wars, don't have war casualties, don't have to pay for their mistakes...and before long, realizing the rest of the world was right, conservatives go hiding.
Has there been one conservative who openly recognized Chirac was right?
