Iran Unrest Reveals Split In U.S. on Its Role Abroad

Iran's post-election tumult has exposed the sharply divergent ways in which the Obama administration and its Republican opponents view the nature of American power and the president's role in speaking to political dissent outside the borders of the United States.

The correct answer is that the writer assumes (and we know what happens when you ass=u+me) that the Republicans are equally adept at U.S. foreign policy as the Obama administration.Let's see what recent Republican foreign policy has given us.

The first war of aggression in the history of the United States. The failure to curb North Korea's nuclear ambitions. The reinforcement of the idea that the U.S. has begun a 21st century crusade against the Muslim world. The failure to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan. The enmity of our European allies. The image of the United States as World Gunslinger. The disasters of Abu Gharib and Guantanamo.

Yes, yes.... All in all the Republicans have done a fantastic job as arbiters and directors of America's foreign policy. Bravo!
