Again, gandalf: reading comprehension. I’ve already answered some of your assertions.
1) Whether Obama is seen as conservative or liberal in foreign policy circles is irrelevant. It’s terrific for talking points and people who rely on soundbites instead of factual analysis, but ultimately it is unimportant.
2) His lack of knowledge and understanding regarding history makes any foreign policy approaches by him highly questionable.
3) His tendency to regard the war on terrorism as a correllary to a war on poverty displays a lack of concern on how terrorism is being fueled by Islamofacism.
4) As Allan has pointed out correctly, the writer Zakaria is a well-known internationalist and views America as a waning power soon to be replaced.
5) Lastly, anyone can label policies as pragmatic, realistic, idealistic. Are the policies and analyses of the problem correct? In both cases, neither presidential candidate gets it right. Obama just gets it more wrong. Call it liberal or conservative, it’s still wrong.
