It
may be too soon to pass judgment on Obama's new foreign policy
strategy, but early returns on his gamble that talking is the best cure
are less than reassuring. Each time Obama extends a hand to one of the
world's anti-American despots, he is rewarded with an insult
(Venezuela's Hugo Chavez) or, perhaps, a missile display (North Korea
and Iran).
One may view these episodes as diminishing America's status or as a
tolerable annoyance -- sort of the way Dobermans view toy poodles. At
some point, the big dog reminds the little yapper of his place.
Unfortunately, the American commander in chief is a cat in a
dog-eat-dog world.
