<LONDON : Britain's respected Financial Times endorsed John Kerry as the best choice for US president, saying incumbent George W. Bush had polarized the world with his radical foreign policy and led a reckless economic policy.

The paper, one of the world's leading financial dailies, called Bush "a polarizer, exploiting the war on terror to cow domestic opposition and divide the world into Them and Us."

"Over the past three years, the gap between ambition and reality has created what could be termed a 'Bush bubble'," it said.

During that time since the September 11 2001 attacks in the United States, Bush's "radical, faith-based politics" and his inability to recognize his mistakes had led to a disastrous occupation in Iraq and taken the wrong tack in the war on terrorism, it charged.

"Mr. Bush's flaw is his stubborn reluctance to admit mistakes and to adjust personnel and policy. Blind faith in military power as a tool for change has too often influenced decision-making," it said. >

and they have no reason to doubt he would continue Clinton's fiscal discipline, since he voted for it (and against most Dems) originally.
