My first question is what is this "unprecedented squeeze" Israel faces? Last I heard they were (again) expanding settlements in the West Bank, which is one of the bad things that keeps making it harder to find peace. I haven't heard much from Obama about it.
I think the missile shield was an unnecessary provocation in the beginning for minimal gain. So I don't think we lose much by dismantling it, except possibly good will in Poland & Czech Republic. The corrupt election is definitely a problem, but it isn't like Bush would have done anything different. How long did we buddy up with a dictator in Pakistan? I definitely think we should do something about Kharzi & the election, but I don't think Obama is the only one who would have gotten that wrong. I agree about Pakistan, but again, just continuing the policy of the last administration. Though I've heard more talk (and action) about bombing Al Qeida inside Pakistan, which is something Bush never seemed willing to do. NK went nuclear under Bush's watch. Talking isn't a reward. Myanmar? Burma! For Iran, again, talking isn't a reward. Obama was smart to stay out of the street demonstrations. Bush would have opened his mouth, or worse, and the reform movement in Iran would be identified as puppets of America. So good for Obama on that. |
