The President's Second Half: At Least Do No Harm

On the Reuters Wire today:

"PARIS (Reuters) - The rest of the world will be watching with anxiety when President Bush is inaugurated Thursday for a second time, fearing the most powerful man on the planet may do more harm than good."

Our Allies' anxiety focuses on our unilateral approach to foreign affairs and incursions. Our friends hope, but doubt, POTUS will, like the Hippocratic Oath, "help, or at least do no harm."

I'm not expecting a lot from this President but I hope he keeps the damage to a manageable level. Especially the collateral damage! Is that asking too much? Believe it or not, among my friends, I am probably the most hopeful and upbeat about this second term.
