It Is An Old Liberal

The Obama Foreign Policy, In Broad Strokes, Has Been A Disaster.

Third Parties In America Gravitate Not Only To The Extremes, But To Irrelevance. (john Anderson's Upcoming Presidential Campaign Will Undoubtedly Confirm Both Tendencies.)

This Week, Iranian-backed Houthi Rebels Seized Control Of The Yemeni Government, Heretofore Pro-american. In September, They Overran Sanaa, The Capital. On Tuesday, They Seized The Presidential Palace. On Thursday, They Forced The President To Resign.

The Great Divide In American Foreign Policy Thinking Is Between Those Who Believe In Paper And Those Who Believe In Power.

I Think The First Thing Is To Recognize A Mistake That Obama Made. And Others Have Made In Thinking That You Can Revolutionize A System That's Unbelievably Complex And Interlinked, One-sixth Of The Economy. That Was A Mistake Because Whenever You Change One Thing, It Changes 80 Other Things, And Now If You're Changing Everything At Once, You Have No Idea What The Outcome Is Going To Be And You Get All Of These Unintended Side Effects.
