Here's a teaser for you:
If you believed that the United States is hardly exceptional, but merely one nation not all that different from others, then you would have confidence in the aggregate wisdom of the United Nations, and the cultural and economic paradigms provided by the nations of the European Union.Now get over there and read the whole thing!
If you believed that wars, crises, and international tensions are brought about by miscommunications, misunderstandings, and Western insensitivity, rather than by despots trying to advance illiberal agendas whenever and wherever they sense an opening, then you would blame past administrations for our present ills, with all their bellicose and retrograde talk of preparedness, deterrence, and pre-emption. You would grandly proclaim a new age of harmonious relations, and count on your rhetorical abilities and charisma to persuade past rivals and mischaracterized enemies that, at this rare but opportune moment, there are no real differences between us — and thus no reasons for future disputes.

In other words, if you were a starry-eyed liberal who only believed in the ignorant and idealistic agenda of the left, then you'd be Obama.
I wonder what Obama is doing. I saw the video of him bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia , head of the Wahabis and chief financier of the islamic terrorists. You have to wonder what Obama wants?
