See Below for The Truth About Bush's Foreign Policy

To Whom It May Concern:

It has come to our attention that a group called 'Win Back Respect' has offered an open letter from American scholars studying abroad condemning the foreign policy of the administration of President George W. Bush. This group of students has described American¹s foreign policy initiatives as 'arrogant' and further charged that these policies have endangered Americans living abroad.

As students and leaders from across the globe, representing thousands of young people, we must disagree. While we respect their concerns and opinions, as fellow young leaders and scholars from around the world, it is our personal experience that their views misrepresent American foreign policy and its effects throughout the international community. During his term, President Bush has worked diligently to address all aspects of foreign policy including immediate threats, emerging threats and humanitarian concerns.

Snip. Details of President Bush's successes, with which we are all familiar.

These examples demonstrate President Bush's skillful handling of America¹s foreign policy. Unlike our colleagues we are proud to support America¹s principled action and efforts to spread freedom, equality and prosperity throughout the world. Ultimately, our foreign policy can not be driven by a desire to appease or pursue universal consensus at the expense of freedom and security. As history has repeatedly shown, "what is right may not be popular and what is popular may not be right."
