Obama's Foreign Policy
I suppose that almost anyone would be better than George W. Bush; and certainly Barrack Obama has been spelling out a liberal domestic policy with considerable eloquence.
He shows gravitas even when addressing the puerile Democratic Convention.
However, his foreign policy still worries me. Part of the problem is the lack of any policy;part of the problem is his silence concerning crucial matters.
He may be playing safe until after the election.
However, his support for Israel; his simplistic comments re Georgia; and his determination to shed more blood in Afghanistan fill me with apprehension.
I hope that my fears are ungrounded.
