Trade deficit with China.

Wouldn't that be an economic issue, not a foreign policy issue?

I guess its both.

Rebuilding Irak.... or at least it should be. No point in removing someone from power, who made life miserable for those under him, if you are merely degrading their standard of living.

I'm going to have to agree with Pah/Bob on this one. We need a coherent and realistic forign policy.

Iraq is the most pressing foriegn policy issue right now. Al Qaeda and nuclear proliferation should have been our most pressing issue had we not invaded Iraq.

Y'all are pessimists! The President is working hard to make this a nicer world for Halliburton and all you can do is see the downside that his policies screw over the rest of us. Why can't you rejoice that Halliburton has made some huge profits in Iraq? Are you anti-capitalist wackos or something?

hooray for halliburton.i am converted

First I have to say I'm politically challenged...I don't understand politics. If I were to say what would be the most important foriegn policy it would be to bring back more jobs to our own country and get more involved in this country and let the other countries have a go of it on there own. I don't see why we have to stick our noses in where it doesn't belong...we need to find Osama, bring some justice to those who lost so much in 9-11 and pay attention to our own welfare here in the US. We send too much out of the country in contrast to what I see as what we bring back to our own people.

Just an uneducated in politics view of my own.

If you look at this question from the standpoint of the administration, then clearly the most pressing foreign policy problem is whether or not we will have enough bombs left over from Iraq to bomb Canada, now that Canada has legalized gay marriages. As everyone knows, the legalization of gay marriages directly results in the destruction of heterosexual marriages (every gay marriage that succeeds causes up to ten heterosexual marriages to promptly collapse), which results in the utter ruin and destruction of the mythical 1950's family and, hence, civilization. Therefore, Canada is now the number one enemy not only of heterosexual marriage, but of the mythical 1950's family, and our entire civilization. So, it is crucial to saving the world that we have enough bombs left over from Iraq to bomb our Canadian friends until they relent and outlaw homosexual marriages. Nothing could be clearer.

Trying to convince the other nations that not all of our citizens are... very bad words?

I wouldn't take that too much to heart...the politicians don't seem to have much of a grasp either.

Rebuilding Iraq. We brought devastation to the nation, are we going to stay and fix it? Hopefully Bush will stick to his promise and fix it. This is such a horrible issue to me because I absolutely hate to see our troops being killed in Iraq but yet, I also hate to see the misery that many Iraqis are going through because of the devastation.
