Bush first sent his only begotten Daughter, Condi Rice, to blaze a trail and report back on the fact finding mission including 'the mood' the world finds the USA.
The USA is bankrupt in everyway, international relations, fiscally, morally, legally and diplomatically. Bush can hardly find personnel to fill the vacancies at the top of the administration and the world is watching. Bush's philosophies are old world.
Bush is being brought in line by the world's finest.
He will find no warm welcome in the Russian 'chill' that still exists from it's winter, but, will be brought in line.
In doing so, Bush will return with his dignity but not his 'inauguration rhetoric.' Whether he accepts that 'gift' of dignity being afforded him now, is his choice. But. If he rejects it, then it will be return to the 'gimp game' as before his whirlwind tour of 'containment' of the 'disabled.'
Bush is not returning with allies a many willing to plunge into a war to end all wars. They all were there before.
