Stephen M. Walt on Obama's Foreign Policy and the End of the American Era

[gobuddyboy]

Obama is now responsible for more drone attacks on pakistan than bush. That is destablizing pakistan, maybe thats what washington wants. Obama didnt close getmo. Obama waited for 4 years before pulling troops outof iraq, but there is still a big usa military presence in iraq. Obama went in to libya, now syria, and wants Iran. If obama is not the anti-christ he are to be one.

The end of the American era isnt a act of god or of nature. Its a choice of either go back to American basic values or to go on with Friedmans neoconservative economic.

Your choice.

It's very unfortunate that only 16 people (at the point of time I write this message) have been watched this great piece of information, where when we think about some dumb Reality TV videos, there are probably hundreds of thousands watching it. So, if the majority is getting dumber, then also the rulers/presidents of all countries need to be dumber thus they can correlate correspondingly to their voters. I think this is how we explain a president like GWBush or Obama.

@LeonardMichaelis

I would suggest, based on your message, you read Brave New World, by Huxley, or Fahrenheit 451, by Bradbury. Huxley's novel is based on a society which is bombarded by trinkets and socially engineered to be a predetermined class based society, and Bradbury's a society in which books are burned and reality television rules and is an extension of one's family. You've probably already read one of the two but if you haven't you should.
