I like many in my generation, was hopeful about Barak Obama when he first appeared on the political scene as a presidential candidate, but as I have listened to him in recent weeks I have been disappointed to find myself listening to him promote a brand of foreign policy that is virtually identical to that of our current neo-con, corporate, dictator and chief.
In a speech in August Obama outlined his foreign policy positions stating that he would authorize military force against al-Qaeda in Pakistan if Pakistan does not neutralize the organization itself. Attack Pakistan? Is he fucking crazy?
