Kerry's Foreign Policy?

This morning on Morning Sedition, they had Jamie Rubin, described as Kerry's foreign policy advisor, on the air. They asked him six different ways how Kerry's foreign policy would be more effective than Bush's. Based on what I heard, it sounds like the entire foreign policy is based on: well, everybody hates Bush and will love Kerry.

Number one, I'm not so sure that's accurate. Number two, even if that's true, that all world leaders hate Bush but would love Kerry, I seriously doubt if any world leaders would change their nations' policy because they personally liked him. Number three, I find it bothersome that that was the extent of his plan and he thought that this was, well, deserving of being called a plan.

Hoping people like you isn't a plan; foreign policy isn't a popularity contest.
