David Brooks on Obama’s Foreign Policy

April 26th, 2007 by Stephen

In the New York Times, David Brooks talks to Barack Obama (TimesSelect required) about foreign policy, following Obama’s major foreign policy speech in Chicago on Monday. According to Brooks, when Obama “is confronted by what he sees as dovish passivity, he argues for the hardheaded promotion of democracy in the spirit of John F. Kennedy.”

And Brooks quotes Obama on his central doctrine of foreign policy, “The single objective of keeping America safe is best served when people in other nations are secure and feel invested.”
