He is cautious on China: China is a competitor, not a strategic partner. "We must deal with China without ill-will – but without illusions." One of the various pages prepared on the online media is by The Guardian: http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/US_election_race/. Its comprehensive in that it has links to Bush, Gore, their baiters, as well as its own analytical articles. There is also a look at the likely key figures in the Bush government, Dick Cheney (Mr Bush’s running mate) and General Colin Powell (Secretary of State) being the most prominent as far as the rest of the world is concerned. So much for the "good" sites, but surfing the Net for Bush without a look at the not-so-reverential sites cannot be complete. Sites like www.sonofbush.com/, www.georgewbushspeaks.com/ or http://www.gwbush.com/ could well give you the shivers thinking "Is this the man some would call the ‘President of the world?’" All Bush policies stand contradicted on these sites and his sincerity is fairly convincingly challenged. But certain sites could even have you in splits, particularly, http://www.georgewbushspeaks.com/.

I do not believe we’ve put a guilty ... I mean innocent person to death in the state of Texas." But "I promise you that I’m gonna talk about the ideal world. I’ve read—I understand reality.

the best man that has won! |
