O Abroad: Great Taste, Less Filling
Amir Taheri
Much of the U.S. media presented President Obama's first diplomatic tour of Europe, prolonged with a visit to Turkey and a stopover in Iraq, as a triumph. Americans are told that their president and first lady charmed the Europeans like royalty or rock stars. Obama is supposed to have won 'the respect of the Muslim world' with a single speech.
Considered as an ego trip, Obama's six-nation tour does appear a success."
As far as yielding practical results, however, Obama's tour was a near-total failure on at least six issues. Please read this article to understand how much of a failure he was.
You can connect the dots and understand the implications of his failures yourself. If you can't ask me and I will be happy to give you my view.
