The world on his desk

A briefing for the weary winner from the man in charge of policy and
planning at the State Department in 2001-03
AS GEORGE BUSH contemplates his second term, he faces far more
challenges, and more difficult ones, than he did four years ago. The
first reason for this is the objective state of the world, with a host
of problems, from Iraq to North Korea to HIV/AIDS, demanding urgent
attention. The second is the current condition of the United States.
America remains the world's pre-eminent actor, but it is also
stretched militarily, in debt financially, divided domestically and
unpopular internationally. It all makes one wonder why Mr Bush seemed
so keen to keep the job.
