Trump and Kerry Share Thoughtless Status Quo Foreign Policy
Donald Trump's Foreign Policy is an incoherent mash up of platitudes hiding a thought less status quo agenda, but watching Secretary of State John Kerry on Charlie Rose about a month back summarily dismiss partitioning Iraq into its sectarian divisions of Sunni Arab, Shiite and Kurdish regions reflects an ignorance of our own history and the difficulties our forefathers encountered while at war with England and governed by a Continental Congress with fiercely independent states. The revolutionary war with England developed a sense of nationhood which finally prevailed. Iraq's current struggle is for tribal dominance. Our foreign policy today is blind to the fact there is no nation building so that a unified Iraq could last.
