Robert Kagan, one of Mittens top foreign policy advisers, was bashing Glenn Beck for predicting the Arab Spring would go straight to hell. Mittens seems to be of the Neo-Con type of thinking that pretends you can give Democracy to a bunch of barbarians and expect good results, and he does not explain what he would have done definitely with Egypt. Would he have bombed them or something? Assassinate a Mullah?
Machiavelli once noted that no people who have long been slaves can maintain their freedom for very long if they ever accidentally or by the graces of one man come into it. They quickly degenerate back into another tyranny, perhaps even more severe than before.
We’re seeing this in live action, and Obama has had no problem with helping the “freedom fighters” in Libya and Syria, which Mittens doesn’t seem to disagree with, despite the fact that they will likely end the same way as Egypt.
So what IS America’s foreign policy? Mittens isn’t offering a new one either, aside from saying he’ll perform Obama’s current policy in a more efficient way and declare Israel our greatest ally.
