TIMES OF ISRAEL – At an event at the National Review Institute in Washington, Bush was asked whether he thought Islam was a religion of peace.
“I’m sure for some of the practitioners, but it’s been hijacked by people who have a [sic] ideology that wants to destroy Western civilization, and they’re barbarians. And so that part, which is the part that we need to confront head-on, is clearly not a religion of peace,” he was quoted by The Guardian as saying.
“And I think it’s – you’re not offending the sensibilities of people that are peaceful in the adherence to their faith when you say what I just said,” he went on.
In his interview he sees Chrisitans in the Middle East as a personal interest because an Iraqi daughter in law. I wonder if Saddam fits into the picture somewhere in the way personal interests fit the reasons for invading Iraq did "W". Jeb Bush, being his own man, thinks there should be no negotiations with Iran at all according to his interview.

Dear Mr. President (click here)
Within the past few daysWithin the past few days the Government of Iran has made explicit requests to you and your Secretary of State for direct talks with the United States on nuclear matters. Those requests have been repeated over a period of at least three years, while your team has used every elliptical "diplomatic" device, including threats to bomb Iran, to coerce Iranian leadership into accepting special, even unique rules for any Iranian nuclear program....
Everyone in the world knows "W" never wanted talks with Iran. Actions speak far louder than words with Republicans. He wanted to invade the country as a rouge nation. Is there doubt anywhere? "The Axis of Evil Speech" followed by an invasion into Iraq. Is there any doubt? No. So, Jeb Bush's idea of fun in foreign policy is exactly what his brothers
This article by Hadley written in 2010 takes President Obama's approach to Iran and rewrites history regarding "W."

...The Bush approach (click here) can be summarized as the "two clocks" strategy: First, try to push back the time when the Iranian regime would have a clear path to a nuclear weapon. And second, try to bring forward the time when public pressure would either cause the regime to change its nuclear policy (and suspend enrichment), or transform it into a government more likely to make the strategic choice to deal with the international community....

In the year 2015, the enemies (whoever they are, just generally everyone except NATO I suppose.) are not the only ones who fear the USA's military capacity. A growing number of Americans and their US House representatives fear the path of the USA military which invites nuclear war and not deescalating it's burgeoning threat. In the year 2015, the USA military is violating the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Fear the USA's military prowess? Who in this year doesn't?
It is completely obvious Jeb Bush, if ever president, will pick up where "W" left off.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (click here) argued Saturday that American foreign
policy should frighten the nation’s enemies abroad with its strength.
“The
basic policy should be our friends know we have their back over the
long haul, and our enemies need to fear us again,” Bush said at the
South Carolina GOP convention in Columbia, according to the Associated Press.
Bush
added that he thought President Obama’s strategy abroad has been an
“unmitigated disaster” thus far. Hillary Clinton’s would not fare much
better, he said, should she get elected president in 2016....
