<<<John Quincey Adams had it right when he said a great nation doesn't go abroad seeking monsters to destroy; even monsters with oil. Well, he didn't know about the oil part. >>>

I have NO doubt Obama feels the same way except JQA had a clean sheet of paper to work with. Obama inherited a giant mess with multi-dimensional degrees of friends and enemies and complex economic, political, and cultural cross currents. It is not too different than in trying to herd cats in multi-dimensional and parallel universes. What Obama accomplished is as much as you can hope for.
