Bold agenda

From the NY Times:

"An ebullient Condoleezza Rice began her first day as secretary of state this morning with a pledge to help America's diplomats promote President Bush's 'bold agenda' for advancing liberty throughout the world."

A "bold agenda" is no basis for a foreign policy. Foreign policy requires tact, subtlty, cooperation, a recognition of mutual interests... A foreign policy with a bold agenda is the kind that results in annexing Czechloslovakia and invading Poland.

Of course, for Bush, a "bold agenda" would be four years of *not* attacking anyone.
