	George W. Bush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bush is the first Republican president to appoint an openly gay man to serve in his administration [40] (Scott Evertz as director of the Office of National AIDS Policy), and the first president to see one such (successful) appointment, that of openly gay Ambassador to Romania Michael E. Guest.
		Bush is a member of a prominent political family: his father, George H. Bush, served as U.S. President for four years and as Vice President for eight, his brother Jeb Bush is the current Governor of Florida, and his grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a United States Senator.
		Bush's imposition of a tariff on imported steel and on Canadian softwood lumber was controversial in light of his advocacy of free market policies in other areas, and attracted criticism both from his fellow conservatives and from nations affected.

	Foreign Policy: Meet George W. Kerry
		Bush reneged nearly as quickly on his campaign promise to adopt a humble foreign policy, wary of active foreign engagements and nation-building efforts.
		Thus, although the Bush administration's vaunted aversion to what then U.S. President Thomas Jefferson called “entangling alliances” may not disappear in a second term, Bush's rejection of multilateral action will be far less rigid and ideologically driven than it was during the first four years.
		Indeed, these comments by Kerry and Bush highlight a paradox that the candidates and U.S. voters alike are reluctant to recognize: If reelected, Bush will have difficulty sustaining the foreign policies of his first term, whereas a first-term Kerry presidency is bound to emulate some of Bush's more aggressive positions.

	George W. Bush on Foreign Policy
		Bush’s foreign policy advisor said that Bush was moving away from strategic ambiguity partly because Taiwan has become a democracy and partly because the policy has been poorly implemented in the Clinton administration.
		Yet his foreign policy speeches and his circle of advisors both draw from the veil of pragmatic, big-power Republicanism practiced with some skill by his father when he was in the White House.
		Bush and his aides said the president’s remarks were not meant to signal a change in policy.

	International Relations Center Report Our Backyard Pax Americana
		This is most evident in Colombia, where the Bush administration's reformulation of the drug war as a war on terrorism coincided with election of the rightist Álvaro Uribe as president.
		The position of hard-liners both within and outside the Bush administration-that the guerrilla insurgence in Colombia was not just a threat to Colombia's stability and to regional democracy but was also a threat to U.S. national security-suddenly became the position of the White House and most members of Congress.
		Administration executive orders relaxing restrictions on human rights and on U.S. clandestine operations and intelligence gathering also portend a return to the cold war era of U.S.-Latin American relations, when the ends always justified the means.

	Neoconservative Ideas and Foreign Policy in the Administration of George W. Bush: A German View, by Patricia Greve January 23, 2004
		Where policy toward Iraq of the Bush administration after September 11 is concerned, four neoconservative ideas became especially important: First, that despotic regimes with the capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction have become the central threat to world peace in the era of transnational terrorism.
		According to observers of the foreign policy decision-making process, the traditional conflict between the State and Defense departments is especially pronounced in the current administration.
		George W. Bush was the candidate of the moderate, internationalist Republican establishment that had also supported his father's candidacy.

	The Official Website of Representative David Duke, PhD
		It is one more damning piece of evidence showing the treason of the Jewish supremacist Neocons who have hijacked the foreign policy of the United States.
		It is President Bush and those who have surrendered our government policy to Jewish Neocons such as Libby, Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Wurmser, Crystal, Chertoff, who are the ones who have have endangered America.

		Welton Gaddy of the Interfaith Alliance criticized President George W. Bush's consistent and reckless use of religious language, saying that such language is divisive and destructive to the healthy debate essential to the democratic process.
		Eisner goes on to write that Bush seems to have decided that all people of faith believe in the "same kind of God, the same definition of history, and the same trust in grace and Providence." She urges the President to find a language that includes, not excludes, people.
		Both theologians detailed how the President has used religious language to stifle political debate on key domestic and foreign policy issues, damage the separation between religion and government and undermine religious pluralism in the United States.

	The Foreign Policy Decision Making Process of the George W. Bush Administration
		Bush is a self-proclaimed hater of introspection, which he calls “psychobabble.” When he suffered set backs as an oilman or whenever people around him indicated he was not living up to his last name, George W. would merrily plod on, being confident that things would work out in the end.
		Bush did the politically smart thing—inhumane as it may seem—by distancing himself almost immediately from Linda Chavez his first nominee for Secretary of Labor, who was faced with the charge of having employed an illegal immigrant.
		While many critical commentators now refrain from calling George W. a ‘smirk’ and a lightweight, the successful handling of the response to the attacks is not only due to the decisive style of George W., but also due to the quality of his advisers and the structure of the decision making process.

		One of the dramatic foreign policy failures of the Bush administration has been its handling of the trans-Atlantic relationship.
		The precipitous decline in positive foreign attitudes toward the United States during the presidency of George W. Bush, most dramatically since the invasion of Iraq, has put at risk tangible strategic and economic interests.
		President Bush and many of his advisers revel in comparing his administration's approach to foreign policy to that of President Reagan.

	NucNews - April 2, 2001
		Kuchma's foreign minister, Anatoliy Zlenko, was in town last week, and his message was blunt: Ukraine's regime, he volunteered, was inclined to believe that a one-superpower world led by the United States "has a lot of advantages" and was even sympathetic to the Bush administration's missile defense plans.
		IF PRESIDENT GEORGE Bush is worried that his appointments to key positions are not pleasing the right wing of his own party, he may take heart from the introduction Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Jesse Helms gave Bush's nominee to be Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, John Bolton.
		In fact, some foreign policy analysts say it is premature to look for rifts as the administration settles in and some key posts are unfilled.

		The governments of allied countries such as Spain, France and Germany, as well as the U.S.-based organization Human Rights Watch criticized the Bush administration's refusal to sign the treaty for the International Criminal Court, thereby refusing that court's jurisdiction for war crimes prosecutions of U.S. nationals.
		Bush stated, "I have concluded the ABM treaty hinders our government's ability to develop ways to protect our people from future terrorist or rogue state missile attacks." This decision encountered wide skepticism in Europe and Asia, where it prompted fears of another costly arms race.
