Well, not being in power, I suppose they're hardly in a position to start a war to get themselves re-elected. Although some of Carter's antics in Cuba. . .

No, I don't really find it strange at all. Politics is about a lot of stuff, but mostly popularity. Be with who is popular. Do that which is popular. (And, in a representative democracy, that's sort of the whole idea.) If I'm the Democratic Representative of East Havershum, and my constituents happen to really like President Bush, then of course I'm going to really like him too. And not to sound overly naive, but in order to escape being overly cynical, I'll point out that part of the job of being a representative is representing the people who elected you, and those people, the polls would seem to agree, are in favor of our current president.

Talking about weird American politics, that nice big country over the sea now has the self-appointed right to attack the Netherlands, if any American ever gets into that new international court. Yay. I'm watching out for SEALs in my backyard.
