In his inaugural address, President Obama vowed to reach out and engage with the international community including those nations hostile to the United States. However, it is clear that Obama’s engagement with Iran has been nothing short of a failure. In her recent remarks with the Saudi Foreign Minister Saud Al Faisal, Secretary Clinton admitted that Iran “has failed to reciprocate.” Instead, Iran announced that it will increase its enrichment capacity and produce twenty percent uranium. The Obama administration is now preparing to move ahead on the sanctions front in …
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8KQnFVuoqQ[/youtube], In his disappointing debut in Shanghai, China, President Obama made every effort to avoid offending those who practice an offensive system that actively represses dissent. Now, as the president visits Beijing, it is even more important that he strongly assert the importance of adhering to the universal principles essential to an open, civil society.
