So How's That "Enlightened" Foreign Policy Working Out?

The screaming headlines today - from every corner of the globe - can answer that:

North Korea:

North Korea declares it conducted nuclear test
'ON A PAR WITH HIROSHIMA'...
GAVE USA LESS THAN HOUR'S NOTICE...
Fires 3 short-range missiles...

Iran:

Iran sends six warships to international waters...
'Historically unprecedented'...
Ahmadinejad rejects Western nuclear proposal...

Israel:

Netanyahu defies Obama...
POLL: Half of Israelis back immediate strike on Iran...

And much, much more!

'Oil to Reach $75'...
Speaker Pelosi dodges human rights on China visit -
British banks revolt against Obama tax plan; May refuse American clients...

So. almost five months into the Obama regime - does the world like us any better? Questionable. But one thing is beyond doubt: Our enemies - and our allies - respect us a hell of a lot less.

How bad are things? This is the headline Reuters offers as a sign of "hope":

World economy stabilizing: Krugman

Now you know it's all going to hell...!
