Testing Times?

Submitted 8 months ago by Brooke Minters

From <i> Fox News </i> --
VIDEO: With the current conflict in the Middle East, the question looms: how big a stamp does President-elect Barack Obama need to put on foreign policy now? Two experts from opposite sides of the political spectrum discuss what Obama should do. The Democrat argues the U.S. cannot be the world police now, as the U.S. is already in two wars. The Republican believes it would be a grave mistake for Obama to get involved in Gaza, and that Hamas posturing will give Obama the perfect excuse to not talk with Iran.
