There are many public opinion polls in the run-up to the November 5 elections in the United States, but the only ones which really count will close that night, with the ballots counted and the winners in the Presidential, Congressional and State races declared, hopefully soon thereafter. Once the new or returning office-holders are inaugurated, next January, an anxious world will await new, or perhaps renewed, Foreign, National and International security policies from the White House, with or without Capitol Hill approval. So what are these policies likely to be?
