As soon as you are certain that you're right, it's time to be suspicious that you're probably wrong. I agree that real thoughtful bipartisanship is the way, especially when it comes to foreign policy. Look what happened to Bush when he ignored the Foreign Policy Establishment, and became so ideological with the neoconservatives.
