There were definitely ways we could have dealt with the Iraq situation a little better. I don't think Bush could have done anything to get the French/Germans/Russians on board. I don't think Iraq posed much of a threat, but wanted to invade for the humanitarian reasons. That was the neo-con position all along. The WMD aspect was only really used to try and justify it to the UN.

But the main reason why I say his foreign policy is better than Kerry's is that if Kerry had been president the last 4 years, I think Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Iraq, and that would be a bad thing.
