It also ignores the vision Yasser Arafat and his Palestinian Authority have for the future of Israel.
He will not be able to realize his vision for the Middle East, though, by allowing his administration to pursue policies that are blind to the present and predictable realities – realities that endanger Israel and that will render any "peace process" a formula for renewed war, not secure regional tranquility.

 White House Letter: Bush Gets ’Vision Thing’ and Embraces Big Risks
It was in a moment of irritation during the 1988 campaign that the Republican presidential candidate, Vice President George Bush, first derided "the vision thing," as he called it, thus employing an ungainly piece of Bush-speak to describe a leader's ability to set forth inspiring national goals.
As last week proved again, this president has embraced not only "the vision thing" but the idea of a very big presidency: big ideas, big costs, big gambles.
"The vision thing" is the point, whether it is big tax cuts, big wars, big plans for democracy in the Middle East.

 Let Freedom Ring » Blog Archive » The Vision Thing
A broader vision, many of these analysts say, will help the Democratic Party counter the charge, so often advanced by Republicans, that the Democrats are merely a collection of interest groups, labor, civil rights, abortion rights and the like, each consumed with their own agenda, rather than the nation’s.
This discussion of first principles and big goals marks a psychological shift for many in the party; a frequent theme is that Democrats must stop being afraid, stop worrying that their core beliefs are out of step with the times, stop ceding so much ground to the conservatives.
Until national security becomes the centerpiece of their vision, the voters won’t give them control of any part of the government.

If Democrats want to be taken seriously, candidates will commit themselves to an open convention on the party's platform--lively debates, regional hearings and floor fights that enrich the party's vision of the future, even if some planks are beyond the reach of immediate fulfillment.

 TomPaine.com - Bush And The "Vision Thing"
First and foremost, Bush’s domestic agenda is wedded to the massive tax cuts he pushed through Congress in his first term.  Quite correctly, Bush conservatives argue that spurring a growing economy is the best thing a president can do for Americans.
In the face of new Census Bureau reports showing more Americans are living in poverty and a new CBO report showing that only the rich have benefited from Bush’s tax cuts, Bush’s handlers will have to practice some skillful spin.
This hopeful note for Democrats requires two things to be made real:  First, progressives must unmask the Bush agenda for what it is:  another set of plans to aid the wealthy and powerful while undermining the rest of us.  And an aggressive campaign to explain and sell an agenda of “shared security” to the

We live in a time of "political exhaustion and retreat," of "collapsing intellectual visions and ambitions." With the death of socialist hopes, politics has lost its left wing.
But it seems dubious to assume, as he does, that the "fate of a utopian vision is bound up with the fate of intellectuals." In fact, there is a good deal of ferment going on, "intellectual" or not, that has to do with the original radical democratic vision of the American Revolution.
It wouldn't be a bad start for all the smug, self-satisfied elites out there to have to spend a few hours with Gates and Hightower, and for the idealistic crusaders and utopians to confront the sober realism of Professor Gillon.

The instant after the shutter blinks open and closes, whether it is for a thousandth-of-a-second to freeze the impact of a baseball bat on a ball, or several hours to soak up the faint glow of a passing comet, the door also shuts for a photojournalist to manipulate that captured representation of reality.
Any technical choices made before that moment - whether a choice of cameras, light, lenses, filters, exposure settings, or simply where to stand - are generally accepted as tools for achieving the photographer’s vision.
Any digital post-processing beyond the accepted darkroom techniques of yore, such as burning or dodging, are usually considered a prohibited manipulation of that sacrosanct moment of exposure.
