ARTICLE: Obama the Interventionist, By Robert Kagan, Washington Post, April 29, 2007; Page B07

Great piece on Obama's foreign policy that tells me there's exactly no reason now for any centrist Democrat to prefer McCain to Obama. Ditto for Giuliani versus Obama. Ditto for Clinton versus Obama.

Personally, I don't see much difference between any of the top four now on foreign policy, with just McCain coming off as most belligerent but hardly a hawk that separates himself from the pack.

Strong speech by Obama that makes me feel a whole lot more comfortable with him. They say Samantha Powers is a big influence on him. She wrote the Pulitzer prize-winning book on genocides and our lack of response to them, and once served on his staff, I am told.

Thanks to Jamie Ruehl for sending this.
