POST: The Cluster of Copenhagen II: The New American Century, By Walter Russel Mead, The American Interest, December 20th, 2009

Nice piece on Obama's accomplishment at Copenhagen. It's what I was reaching for, a bit lazily, in my short post on the same.

Gist: triangulating between fairly coherent camps, Obama gets down on paper that which the system can collectively muster--no more and no less.

But American diplomacy and leadership remains vital. To me, very FDR.
