Foreign Policy

  • The Obama effect

    Iraq's approval of the security pact shows that Obama's diplomatic approach is already paying dividends. Now, he must talk to Iran.
  • Awaiting Obama's top lieutenants

    Will it be Chuck Hagel, or even Hillary Clinton, for secretary of state? Will Bob Gates stay at the Pentagon? Obama's national security team remains mostly top secret.
  • Obama and McCain face off

    Friday's debate was no decisive showdown. But for undecided voters watching, did Obama look too green or McCain too mean?
  • An open letter to independent and undecided voters

    You're sick of politics as usual and just want results. Should you pick Obama or McCain?
  • Why Bush folded on Iran

    Reality, of the military and petroleum-based variety, forced the administration to change course. Now Bush sounds like Obama.
  • Why Obama will soon land in Europe

    Many Europeans would like to see him as the next U.S. president. But a transatlantic trip to burnish his credentials will be a balancing act.
  • And Obama's veep is ... a Republican?

    Some are buzzing about Chuck Hagel, a strong critic of Bush and the war, for the Democratic ticket. A bold idea or political fantasy?
  • We are all appeasers now

    The GOP and establishment media are attacking Barack Obama for being willing to talk to "terrorists" -- but many parties, including Israel, are doing just that.
  • Obama/Kennedy vs. McCain/Goldwater

    This year's presidential contest is shaping up as the 1964 campaign that never happened
  • A new face for American diplomacy

    Barack Obama is perceived by Muslims abroad like no other candidate. He would begin a presidency with tremendous potential to heal U.S. relations with much of the world.
  • Getting through these dark times

    Foreign policy whiz Samantha Power sheds light on a legendary diplomat killed in Iraq, advising Barack Obama and how America can emerge from the Bush era.
  • Bush's delusions die in Gaza

    The mass jailbreak of Gazans into Egypt revealed the bankruptcy of both Israel's policy of collective punishment and Bush's attempt to make Mideast peace.
  • America needs realists, not William Kristol

    If the New York Times wants true diversity on its Op-Ed pages, it should hire foreign policy realists, not ideologues.
  • Obama's European problem

    The senator may have traveled widely, but the critically important subcommittee on Europe has languished under his leadership.
  • Time to invest in U.S. foreign policy?

    James "Dow 36,000" Glassman gets the nod to succeed Karen Hughes as Undersecretary of Spin. Should we laugh or cry?
  • The Democrats' foreign (policy) wars

    Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton may be trading salvos over their international credentials, but the Democratic presidential contenders are really a united front.
  • How would Barack Obama handle foreign policy?

    The presidential contender on dealing with Iran, fighting AIDS in Africa and restoring America's standing in the world.
  • Bush's old world disorder

    Gone are the days when stern words by a U.S. president could prevent rash action by an errant foreign leader like Musharraf.
  • Giuliani's dangerous bluster

    Reading Giuliani's pompous foreign policy rhetoric and imagining he might somehow become president induces a deep sense of gloom.
  • Bush's European disaster

    The president's trip was a pageant of disdain, delusion and provocation masquerading as a respite from his troubles at home.
  • America is not Bush

    The damage the president has done to our country's reputation can be rebuilt -- by those who uphold our Founding Fathers' ideals.
  • Who has the biggest blogosphere?

    China to India: Nyah, nyah, my country has more bloggers than yours!
  • Israel's debacle, courtesy of Bush

    With U.S. support, Israeli unilateralism was unfurled. The nation's security has never been so endangered, or its moral authority so tarnished.
  • Swaggering to nowhere

    As the Mideast burns and North Korea threatens, the once-boastful president has no policy and is reduced to pathetic bleats.
  • Taking aim at the sleeping dragon

    Imperial and imperious, the Bush administration's containment strategy for China may herald the next cold war.
