NYT Op-Ed: America the Overcommitted

(Community Matters) Who the heck is UT Professor Jeremi Suri and why did the NYT give him so many column inches?

“The solution is simple; set clear priorities . . . three international goals . . . And reduce other commitments”

Really, ignore Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, all the Arab spring uprisings, Mexican drug violence and everything other than your list of three? Of course I realize the philosophical correctness of this but our government is dealing in the real world and doesn’t have the luxury of the ivory tower. Reduce our priorities and tighten our objectives? Certainly. And, it looks to me like we’re doing this every real chance we get.

Good gosh, Texas has had enough visible fumbles on the international stage the last few years. Posted from my blackberry
