The real issue is the direction U.S. foreign policy is leaning as President Obama is starting to surround himself with a more peace-loving cabinet. Can America bring peace by going to war? Obama declared he is turning his attention from the Middle East to the Asian countries. We have treated Asian nations as our allies, but in truth they are our competitors, and this is our next major crisis. We are borrowing money from China now to pay for our wars. China can call in its debts at any time, and how can we pay them off? China now has its first aircraft carrier, and its navy is gaining experience as they address their dispute with Japan. China manufactures parts for some of our most vital military weapons. Can we afford to fight the rest of the world?
