Yesterday, the Christian Broadcasting Network interviewed Republican presidential front runner Herman Cain. He told the network that he's "ready for the gotcha questions". To prove his point, he elaborated a bit on what the Cain administration foreign policy would be. God help us all.
He explained that, as president, his top priorities are job creation and national security, not "knowing who is the head of some of these small insignificant states around the world", like "Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan". Yes. He actually said that.
The President of Uzbekistan is Islam Karimov, by the way.
He said, "When I get ready to visit that country, I'll know who that is". In other words, the Google method of leadership. Take a look.
What I find interesting about his logic is that, with his line of thinking, only the world's superpowers have problems. What about Kuwait? Yemen? Chechnya? Serbia? Bosnia? These are just a few of the "insignificant" nations that an American President has had to focus his attention on in the last twenty years. If a candidate is going into office with the attitude of "these nations don't matter" from day one, how is he or she going to handle a crisis situation with said nation when it arises?
It's something to think about.
