>By declaring neutrality and making clear priorities with regard to foreign policy and the budget, the president will not need to use any political capital. American foreign policy priorities are, for better or for worse, a ton more complicated than the last four years. American foreign aid is within an order of magnitude of that to about a dozen other countries. Yeah, maybe Obama could state a clear agenda for each of those dozen, or each of the top 20, or 30, or whatever, but he'd probably be at odds with half of each country other way. Making snap decisions in diplomacy -- and in diplomacy, a decision in even a year is often a snap decision -- just often leads to no good. I'm not going to say that Obama's doing a particularly good job vis-à-vis Egypt; I really don't know. But in a country with a history of making the worst decisions in foreign policy over the last few decades, I'm happy enough with him not making the worst. Probably a low bar to set, but, I'm not really the one setting it. >He may even generate some thanks to the demonstration of leadership and backbone that is sorely lacking in this administration. Thanks from whom? You? Not most people here. -Z
