Obama is wrongon foreign policy

Reasons to agree:

  1. Obama is wrong on Iran
  2. Obama is wrong to advocate cooling relations with Hugo Chavez.
  3. His 2006 rating by the Almanac of American Politics (2008) on Foreign Policy is 85% liberal, 12% conservative. (2005: 76% liberal, 15% conservative.)
  4. Obama scared people who live in Pakistan
  5. In an address on national security to the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars on August 1, 2007, Obama stated that as President he would consider military action in Pakistan in order to attack al-Qaeda, even if the Pakistani government did not give approval.33 Obama said, "I will not hesitate to use military force to take out terrorists who pose a direct threat to America."34 He also said "As President, I would deploy at least two additional brigades to Afghanistan to re-enforce our counter-terrorism operations".35 Tariq Ali, a British-Pakistani historian, criticized Obama for his comments regarding attacking terrorists inside Pakistan and stated "Were the United States to start bombing raids inside Pakistan, there would be a massive increase of support for the jihadi fundamentalist groups in that country, and it would weaken not just secular political groups, it would weaken even the moderate religious parties who are not associated with that." This is what Obama said in a prepaired speech.
