Foreign Policy 101

Can you pass Foreign Policy 101? The clown can't:
Here’s a thought experiment, a kind of one-question foreign-policy exam: Assume you’re a superpower worried about not being seen as forceful in dealing with Lebanon, Syria, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil. Which of the following strategies might change that impression?
(a) Become more forceful in dealing with Lebanon, Syria, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil; or

(b) Land hard on Israel — to show Lebanon, Syria, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil how forceful you can be.
Obama chose “b.”
Really. Read the whole thing.

Be kind to your enemies and drive away your friends. Obama foreign policy in a nutshell.

They aren't stupid at State. They know exactly what they are doing - and yes, its entirely intentional.

What could go wrong indeed
