Great Read

For some time now and like many people n the country I've been watching America's foreign policy strategy unravel.  There are so many issues that we are floundering on and so many difficulties that we are retreating from, I have found it difficult to even know where to start when thinking of what the future might hold.  But I've just read a new book that I highly recommend to anyone who has an interest in these subjects.  It's by Bret Stephens, the Wall Street Journal's Foreign Affairs columnist and is titled America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming World Disorder.  Check it out on Amazon here.  The book is short, straight-forward and provides a sobering look at our position in the world.  Or if you don't want to read the whole thing at least check out an interview with Mr. Stephens in the Weekly Standard.  He provides a good overview of the book and some intriguing insights into what are our major difficulties in overcoming the hole that Obama has put us in.  It's fascinating and scary.
