What would Obama’s foreign policy look like?

By D. Lindley Young

Answer. Very much like that of George Bush.

He wants to challenge Russia by pressing for missiles in Poland. His change you can believe in is that he wants the missiles pointed in a different direction than Bush or McCain.

He urges Georgia to join NATO so the US will have to go to war for them.

He wants to do "everything in his power" to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. This was his blood oath to AIPAC.

He wants to expand the war in Afghanistan despite the fact that an increase of about 42,000 US troops in the last year has only made it worse. Alexander the Great nor Russia could conquer them but Obama will.

He has announced very publicly that he wants to cut off aid to Pakistan under certain circumstances and invade their sovereignty if we know where a terrorist is (our intigence is so good) and Pakistan doesn't act.

The idea of pushing for more US control in Pakistan, creates more internal resistance to the government and may be destabilizing. As McCain suggested, these are not positions you broadcast.

His Senior Group on National Security is made of people that wanted the Iraq war, want to hit Iran, create more chemical and biological weapons, war hawks and several are tied directly to the weapons industry, the Carlyle Group, Lockheed Martin and the likes.

So, world, it is war and more war no matter who is elected in America.

The "control paradigm" is contagious here. It is believed that control means security and that control means war.

Little or nothing is said about Cuba, Taiwan, South America, Korea, etc.

But similar to Bush's messianic world view Obama see himself as "changing the world." That type of arrogance is always dangerous.
