Doing so is part of a president's job description; his personal preferences hardly matter. What is this fetish of the individual? Certainly there are differences of party, personality, faction, etc., but on the right of the U.S. to tell the rest of the world what to do, that's a given.

We shouldn't make a fetish of structure and determinism either.
