Image: Last week, Time Magazine's cover story was entitled "The End of Cowboy Diplomacy." The story described how "the shift under way in Bush's foreign policy is bigger and more seismic than a change of wardrobe or a modulation of tone," and added that "the swaggering Commander in Chief who embodied the doctrine's aspirations has modulated himself too. At a press conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair in May, Bush swore off the Wild West rhetoric of getting enemies "dead or alive"
Reality: "See, the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hizbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over."
Yup, there's subtle, nuanced, coherent diplomacy for you.
