From its beginning, the Obama administration’s philosophy on foreign policy has caused me to think back to, 1972, I believe it was when an eccentric farmer decided that he had had enough and that he would for president. In an interview with a local newspaper, it was noted that his life experience as a farmer hadn’t offered him much experience in foreign affairs. He was then asked how he would conduct foreign policy. It is really quite simple, the farmer replied, you treat your friends better than you treat your enemies.
I guess he just wasn’t as sophisticated as the current bunch of geniuses, but it sounds like a reasonable plan to me.
