Bush's foreign policy is defined by three distinctive doctrines - pre-emption, unilateralism, and hegemony, all of which assert US power and interests above all else.

Thankfully, Iraq is such a freakin' mess that no (serious) military option elsewhere will be open for a while.

I've discovered a silver lining in Bush winning - there is no need to face defending Kerry's attempts to clean it up (which, lets face it, he was going to struggle to do materially differently than Bush has/will).
