If there is anything I learned from studying up on foreign policy in college, and being an instrument of it for over twenty years, it is that Americans have got to get over this fetish for playing zero sum games.
We can't seem to help ourselves as we clamor over which president is weak vs. strong, who is winning the confrontation, and how this is proof of weak foreign policies. This current drama is bringing out the kooks like usual (e.g. McCain), and good lord they are on the embarrassment train with their one-dimensional, one layer deep understanding of the situation.
It's sickitating.
