In your view has there been a decline in the quality of foreign policy thinking and people in Washington (this my current assesment from very limited information), or are the problems just more difficult and less familar than say the Cold War ? The various Cold War policies had many years of development, from George Kennan's containment policy onwards. Non-state terrorism is certainly a newer problem, and the West has not faced a major conflict with a religeous adversary for many years (Nazis and Communists being mostly in the atheist camp). Changing people and policies can be done quickly, but much more difficult problem set may be with us for years.
