From my most recent NRO article, on the president’s misguided outreach to the Iranian regime: “It is no secret that Obama and his advisers think their overture to Iran is an updated equivalent of the dramatic Nixon–Kissinger opening to China in 1971–72. . . . But the Nixon–Kissinger foreign policy had been one of the masterpieces of American strategic history, carefully prepared and faultlessly executed. Any effort by the Obama administration to indulge itself in the fantasy that its conduct toward Iran constitutes a sequel gives cause for real concern that the leaders of the government have taken complete leave of their senses.”

Whether you agree or disagree, your comments are, as always, most welcome.
