Jackson Diehl's column in today's Washington Post is thoroughly enjoyable for those of us who did not think that Obama's election would trigger the dawn of an era of foreign-policy nirvana :

It is not too late, however, for America to claim stupidity.
BZZZZZT! Contradiction alert!:)
>>Which includes those “more principled” Republicans who voted for him by default by refusing to vote for McCain. I blame them for putting “the One” into the White House just as much as I do those who actually voted for him.<<
I wouldn’t.
I was almost one of them. Might as well have been.
I will be next time.
