Robert Kagan, occasional columnist for the
WaPo and senior associate of the Carnegie Endowment for World Peace, offers a surprisingly insightful analysis of the
foreign policy prospects for a Democrat president after the '08 election. In sum: her options won't look much different from the current Republican president's, but a sensible approach from the other side would do much to heal the divisions of the last several years.
Indeed, if only the Ds can nominate someone with a sensible approach. Does such a creature exist?
We also note with interest the following quotation from Kagan's last paragraph:
The Republicans could nominate someone capable of winning broad Democratic support, which would partly address the debilitating national divide on foreign policy.
And who might that be?

I was not aware that SWNID was a reader of Calvin and Hobbes but with the use of a word like transmogrify I must believe that he is.
To anonymous: daily we mourn the end of Calvin and Hobbes. Who can resist a comic strip whose characters are named for a great theologian and a great philosopher, and which added such rich words to our vocabularies?
