Seems Fred Thompson is setting up his foreign policy credibility over in England. McCain in the senate betraying the nation and throwing tantrums, Giulini getting kicked off the Iraq panel, and Romney traipsing through Iowa, while Fred gives a major policy speech in London. Intersting strategy.
Differences of party and domestic policy are incidental, compared to the bigger considerations that define Britain and America as allies. On both sides of the Atlantic, what matters most are the commitments we share, and the work we are called to do in common. This work is based upon the principles we hold – primarily, the right of free people to govern themselves. We also believe that the rule of law, market economies, property rights, and trade with other nations are the underpinnings of a free society.
When historians of the modern era speak of the great democracies, of civilization and its defenders, that’s us they’re talking about – we and our democratic friends across Europe and beyond.
