Another Democrat Agaist Democracy

Just what, exactly is Barry O!'s foreign policy vision for America?

I spoke at length with Obama's foreign-policy brain trust, the advisers who will craft and implement a new global strategy if he wins the nomination and the general election. They envision a doctrine that first ends the politics of fear and then moves beyond a hollow, sloganeering "democracy promotion" agenda in favor of "dignity promotion," to fix the conditions of misery that breed anti-Americanism and prevent liberty, justice, and prosperity from taking root.
I get it. Our problems in the world are because our adversaries lack self esteem. It has nothing to do with our policies or theirs. They feel bad and act out, which is totally understandable. If we raise their self esteem all will be well. This experiment has been going on in American schools for decades. So far it hasn't provided any useful results. So now Obama wants to elevate this failure to the level of Foreign Policy? Breathtaking.

Our correspondent, Spencer Ackerman, also has this to say:
But while the doubts about Obama contain fair points, they also, to a certain degree, reflect a triumph of the Iraq War mind-set. Why not demand the destruction of al-Qaeda? Why not pursue the enlightened global leadership promised by liberal internationalism? Why not abandon fear? What is it we have to fear, exactly?
How about further attacks by radical Islamists? How about the Death to America fanatics in Iran? How about these Obama people are totally insane i.e. living in an alternate universe.

My advice? If the voices get really loud see a doctor. There are drugs that can help.

We have heard a lot about Obama's youthful dabbling in drugs. I believe he was taking the wrong ones.
