Bush continues to isolate us from the international community:

"By rejecting the draft agreement on enforcing the germ warfare treaty, the US
seems to have effectively killed off a painstaking
negotiating process that has taken 10 years to complete."

"Following an all-night bargaining session, negotiators at the world
conference on climate change in Bonn, Germany, clapped and cheered when the
compromise was struck between Japan and the European Union that resolved the
final terms of how to implement the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and cleared the way
for the ratification process.
The United States was alone among major nations opposing the rules"

Bush also made it clear that he is prepared to violate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic
Missile Treaty over Putin's objections.
and finally,

"Former US President Jimmy Carter has launched an outspoken attack on
President George W Bush... He reserved his most caustic remarks for the Bush
administration's plans for a new national missile defense system, describing
them as "technologically ridiculous" and likely to cause a new nuclear arms
race... He was particularly critical of the Bush administration's foreign
policy, saying that "moderate people" like Secretary of State Colin Powell had
been "frozen out" of decision-making."
Man oh man are we gonna regret we elected this yahoo. Oh wait, that's right,
we _didn't_ elect him. Hmm, I wish that made me feel better.
