What issue will hurt G. Bush the most?

[Siege40]

Based on the ever popular "What issue will hurt J. Kerry the most?" thread I decided it was time to balance things out. If the Democrats' man was going to be slammed why not the Republicans'?

So What is it ladies and gentlemen? What will hurt the Republicans the most?

I think Diplomacy will hurt him a bit. Even though it shouldn't matter.

When you lead the world's only superpower, spearhead the war on terrorism, stand for Western values and democracy, violate international law, snub international officials and collapse alliances centuries old... I think diplomacy matters.

I think the world liked the perception that the Soviets and Americans balanced each other out. Now that the Soviets have gone down the drain that nice balance is scraped. Politics work well when there's a balance, now there's just American Power, and no one in the world could stop it if they wanted to. During the Cold War the French were pretty important players, now their pretty much irrelavant, there really isn't any strategic interest in Europe, no one's hostile, so the continent to the policy makers in Washington is essentially useless. Europe has been in control or influencing the world for centuries, now, they matter a lot less (Mostly talking about Germany, France, England, and Russia.)

Did you know that there's still a large number of American forces in the Rhineland, they were originally placed there to defend against the Nazis, then the Commies, hint, they aren't coming back any time soon.
