The Obama Doctrine critiqued from a Liberal Perspective
The Obama Doctrine critiqued from a Conservative Perspective
A Sum Up:DYNAMIC VS. STATIC.
This really seems to be the difference between liberals and neoconservatives on foreign policy, doesn't it? Neocons envision a near-static population of terrorists, and prescribe an aggressive policy of killing them in order to rid the world of terrorism. Liberals see a dynamic population of terrorists and prescribe broad policies meant to blunt their popular appeal and deprive them of public support. Neocons looks at the liberal prescription and say, essentially, "you're not killing enough of them." And liberals look at the Neocons and, aghast, say, "stop making so many more."
