ok...it looks like kerry and bush are gonna square off in november. from what the shoe's observed, this is going to be a very confusing race for president. the shoe can make things easy for you...consider your vote as a vote for commander-in-chief of the armed forces. that may not have made it any easier for you if you're not in tune with american foreign policy...for the ignorant head-in-the-sand types out there, the shoe will clarify a bit. american foreign policy is (as it should be): take over the world. ok...now, who do you want leading us there...to the new world order? here's john kerry's foreign policy statement :

“americans deserve a principled diplomacy...backed by undoubted military might...based on enlightened self-interest, not the zero-sum logic of power politics...a diplomacy that commits america to lead the world toward liberty and prosperity. a bold progressive internationalism that focuses not just on the immediate and imminent, but insidious dangers that can mount over the next years and decade, dangers that span the spectrum from the denial of democracy, to destructive weapons, endemic poverty and epidemic disease. these are not just issues of international order, but vital issues of our own national security.”

doesn't that sound nice? well, his policy might work if everyone in the world loved us but they don't...in fact they all friggin hate us! and we're not gonna make friends if we quit blowing them up. it'll just take pressure off them so they have time to figure out better ways to fuck with us. sorry, but the shoe isn't willing to sacrifice the american way of life so other countries think we're nice...you all know what happens to nice guys.
