How to describe U.S. foreign policy over the last couple of decades? Disastrous comes to mind.
U.S. foreign policy suffers from systematic flaws in the thinking of the informal policy collective which former Obama aide Ben Rhodes dismissed as "The Blob." Perhaps no official better articulated The Blob's defective precepts than Madeleine Albright, United Nations ambassador and Secretary of State.
In 1998 Secretary of State Albright declared that "If we have to use force, it is because we are America: we are the indispensable nation. We stand tall and we see further than other countries into the future, and we see the danger here to all of us."
Perhaps the worst failing of U.S. foreign policy was ignoring the inevitable impact of foreign intervention.
Most likely she meant those Americans admitted to the foreign policy priesthood, empowered to make foreign policy and take the practical steps necessary to enforce it.
For Albright, war is just another foreign policy tool.
Joining the U.S. military means putting your life at the disposal of Albright and her peers in The Blob..
