Bush to World: Drop Dead!
In his Slate article "Bush to World: Drop Dead! - The president lays an egg at the U.N." Fred Kaplan pretty much summarizes the veiw of many in the mainstream media that Bush failed to strike a concilliatory enough tone in his address to the UN yesterday on how to move forward on Iraq. This speech offered the US the perfect opportunity to yield some ground, repair relations with former allies and open up channels to the UN to become more involved in the reconstruction of Iraq. Once again though, Bush's arrogance, ego and stubborness have prevented this from happening although remarkably the German seems ready to bury the hatchet and get behind the US in Iraq.
Though he got pilloried for it when he said it before, I'll stand by John Kerry if he reiterated his call for "Regime Change" right here in the US because November 2004 can't come soon enough for me.
