Donald Kagan , a professor of classical Greek history at Yale and an influential advocate of a more aggressive foreign policy - - he served as co-chairman of the 2000 New Century project - - acknowledges that likelihood . Argentina was affected by the global crisis , by the Brazilian devaluation , and by its lack of degrees of freedom to pursue countercyclical macroeconomic policies - a result on the fiscal side of failing to reduce the deficit enough in good times to be able to increase it in a recession , and on the monetary side by the convertibility regime , which requires the real exchange rate adjustment to come through domestic deflation . In spite of the United Kingdom 's initial refusal to participate , the creation of a more active social policy - acting through Directorate-General V of the European Commission - represented a significant direct extension of Community activity into Member State labour markets . If Mr. Bush can salvage the war in Iraq , forge a solution for dealing with our entitlements crisis - which can be done only with a bipartisan approach and a more sane fiscal policy - upgrade America 's competitiveness , prevent Iran from going nuclear and produce a solution for our energy crunch , history will say that he used his mandate to lead to great effect . The Democratic Party is not without good ideas , but repealing the Bush tax cuts and adopting the French foreign policy - - talk nicely and never threaten a terrorist - - are not among them .
