The bullying is referring to Bush's preference for aggression over diplomacy. We went into Iraq without a UN resolution, if I recall correctly. that pretty loudly said "we don't care what anyone else thinks, we're doing it anyway."
You can say whatever you want about the UN, but I think anyone outside the US would see that as a pretty bullyish move.
1) In Iraq we had the justification the very first time he violated the terms of cease fire. The UN is not a world governing power that is the end-all-be-all for military actions. And I certainly hope it never is.
2) And negotiating with despots and terrorists accomplishes WHAT? And Bush does not bully in all his relations. Yet another myth propagated by the far left
3) Foreign countries have their agendas too. Friend or foe. And it is in their best interest politically and position wise to have a weaker US that panders or backs down. Don't dream otherwise that it is all this kumbaya crap.
