You are still absolutely 100% wrong. The president appoints all of the top members of the State Department including the Secretary of State and they all do his bidding.

We are indeed. I mean don't they teach basic civics in school any longer? How uneducated to you have to be to think the president isn't the person who sets foriegn policy? How can you point out where people are wrong when they have apparnetly never read the Consititution or even have the slighest dam*ned idea how our governemtn functions? I mean this person actually doesn't understand that the president controls foreign policy? How do people get to that level of ignorance about their own government? I just don't understand people like this.

HEY!!! People who agree with me about other things or not! Will you PLEASE chime in and tell thsi Diplomacy3 that it is the president who sets the country's foriegn policy? I mean come on it's like trying to point out something to a 2nd grader!

Tell him ToolMangler. Maybe he'll listen to someone else.

...Unfortunately about 90 % of the people on these boards thinks Iran wants peace...

Good news. Clouds of war thinning?

The United States, Russia, China and key European powers may for the first time be ready to allow Tehran to keep some of its uranium enrichment program instead of demanding it be completely mothballed, foreign government officials said Tuesday.

You are selling ice to Eskimos! I know who makes the foreign policy and who promotes it. The fundamentals of foreign policy are never changed by any elected government or President. No President would change a foreign policy at his own will. It's the diplomatic corps that forms the think-tank. The President is briefed on hot issues of the policy to achieve certain goals during his presidency.

For one thing I am sure is that Presidents do not make US foreign policy.It's the Dept. of State. Foreign policy is already framed and is reviewed according to global political developments. To give it a priority is one of President's jobs. That's why the President said lately that not only him but any future President would also follow the same policy in the Middle East.

That is their job, to do the presidents bidding in the area of foreign policy. He establishes the direction he wants his foreign policy to go and they make it happen. The president changes the foreign policy that had been followed up to the point when he took office to suit his vision of what he thinks it should be. That is his constitutional right and duty. It is a basic function of the presidency. The State Department is not a separate branch of the government and they work for the president. You really have no idea how our government works, do you? I'm not saying that to try to be insulting, but it's basic civics to know that the president controls all of the US foreign policy via his own actions and via the State Department, which reports directly to him and no one else.
