Corporations are watching

US multinational companies are "acutely worried" about the business consequences of Bush administration foreign policy, according to a new report from Control Risks, a UK-based international security consultancy.

"The consequences of Bush's foreign policy have created new risks - and exacerbated existing risks - for US companies around the world," the report says. The company's RiskMap 2004 report describes US foreign policy as "the most important single factor driving the development of global risk".

It says many in the private sector "believe that US unilateralism is creating a security paradox: by using US power unilaterally and aggressively in pursuit of global stability, the Bush administration is in fact creating precisely the opposite effect."

While many liberals have been talking about the dangers of the Bush's foreign policy for months, the most telling thing about this article is that it was featured in the Financial Times. This is the paper that is read by people who are serious about where they invest their money. While they may defend Bush on many accounts, if he starts making it difficult for them to make safe investments, it's time for him to go. Money trumps politics any day of the week.
