The Occasional Observer

Obama diplomacy. Besides kowtowing to dictators and sacrificing our principles, has it accomplished anything else?

According to WaPo, yes. It has proved that all the naysayers who blamed evil actions in the world on Bush's policies are in fact, wrong. The world is the world, and regardless of how far backwards the US bends it won't change the M.O. of dictators in N. Korea, Iran, or Venezuela. They stay in power by making a strawman enemy of the US. To drop this illusion would be the end of their power, and thus, they must remain on bad relations with the U.S.
