The Obama's tepid response to that last two major foreign policy events, North Korea and Iran, and his overall weak foreign policy should have those that follow US foreign policy events on edge. The Obama has put himself into a place where even our allies are no longer taking him seriously on foreign events, certainly our enemies no longer take him seriously. The result might be that in an effort to restore credibility on foreign affairs the Obama may actually overreact to some world event that might better be handled with his "measured" approach and that overreaction might be toward an ally. If the Obama wants the world to start taking him seriously on foreign policy it would be better for him to start now by taking a stronger stance on both North Korea and Iran. He needs to declare with no caveats, that the US will not tolerate further nuclear activities by North Korea - he needs to take back US policy on NK from China. With regard to Iran he needs to declare the US on the side of those protesting the rigged elections. No ambiguity. Despite his efforts to drag us left and insinuate that we are Islamic - the US is neither, so his political stances in those directions need to be dropped.
