David Brooks - The Leaderless Doctrine

Consider me part of the swarm.  I really resent blow hards who simplify, especially foreign affairs, issues into authoritarian rants which when thoroughly examined means wasting more lives in pursuit of trouble.  Currently I give Obama an A+ for his foreign policy where he lets John Kerry play an activist diplomatic role and puts away the big stick. In the long run Putin's authoritarian rule will fracture as they always do.
