The Issue: How President Obama’s foreign policy has affected America and its allies during his term.
***
It’s sad and occasionally tragic that the Arab Spring will ultimately lead to President Obama’s fall (“Anatomy of a Failed Foreign Policy,” Amir Taheri, PostOpinion, Oct. 22).
But it was he who jumped the gun by politicizing it way too soon. Now the region is disintegrating before our eyes.
Obama’s international policy failures are almost as bad as his economic failures.

Nearly every policy of this administration projects weakness and indecision to the world at large.
From Afghanistan to Israel, the United States has become an unreliable ally that bases its allegiance on political correctness and public opinion. The US cannot lead from behind, given how the possible outcomes of events can affect American interests.
The Benghazi murders show the terrible truth that no one is guiding our state. The convoluted explanations by various government departments show the failure of the Obama Doctrine, which is to have no doctrine at all.

Our policy of peace through strength, not only with our military, but through resolve and purpose, has kept world peace intact.
Why is Obama throwing Israel, our only friend in the Middle East, under the bus? This will lead to trouble. Israel has proven herself in battle in the past and will do so in the future.
Obama’s policy of apologizing and groveling has not produced any positive results, but rather a lack of respect throughout the world.
Appeasement will lead to more trouble for our country, raising the possibility of all-out war, as in Europe in 1939.
We are being dragged down by a foreign policy of defeat, disaster and destruction that is looming over us.Wally Flint
