I wonder how much George Bush's famed "friendships" helped with his
starting a war of choice in Iraq or getting bogged in Afghanistan, both
of which ended up as quagmires that only his "unfriendly" successor's
dogged focus helped bring to an end.
Also, the premise that somehow, being chummy with incompetent, corrupt, politically inept and sectarian Al-Malaki or Kleptomaniac Khazai would have changed their minds. Obama has a vision for restoring America's place as a pre-eminent power - not one that is sidetracked by unnecessary conflicts in other lands, conflicts that almost bankrupted the nation, while it's true geo-political rivals outflanked it both economically, diplomatically, and increasingly militarily.
History will judge this president's foresight, his singular focus on the prize and his success in restoring America's faith in it's government (san the bomb throwing opposition) and the world's renewed acceptance of America's leadership.
It is easy to forget now, how much of the world treated America with disdain in 2007 and how the nation tottered at the edge of ruins then. It is morning yet in America, if only the rabid opposition will demonstrate some of their oft parroted patriotism.
