No thanks. I'll vote for someone with the brains to think it through and the style of diplomacy that brings about peace. Senator Obama!

I guess we hear the words differently. What I get out of it is a showing of backbone, making it clear that the US is not a footmat for the world's dirty shoes.
Sen. Obama's type of "diplomacy" has been tried before by Neville Chamberlain, Herbert Hoover, Norodom Sihanouk and many others. The results have been catastrophic - millions dead and $$trillions worth of damage despite the best of intentions. Idealistically, it all sounds rosy, but the tough guys of the world eat up the flower children for breakfast.
