More. From. Recommended.There are many good things in this week's edition of the magazine and among them, happily, is a piece by Dan Drezner. It's not online yet so why don't you subscribe? £1 an issue for the first 12. Bargain! Anyway, Dan casts a weary gaze (there being no other kind of gaze when it comes to this sort of survey) over the Republican presidential pretenders' foreign policy views. Here's how he begins:During the 2008 US presidential election cycle, the respected journal Foreign Affairs invited the leading prsidential candidates from both parties to outline their views of world politics. All of them responded with essays that, one presumes, they at least read if did not write. This year, ahead of next year's elections, Foreign Affairs has proffered the same invitation to the leading Republican aspirants. To date, they have all refused or not responded.A small thing perhaps but I think you could reasonably consider this a leading indicator.

The publisher thanks Google/Bugger for denecessitating verification. (Not that we need explain anything to anyone.)

ReplyDeleteAha! I am sensing a possible obstacle.

ReplyDeleteYou may be onto something previously unsuspected, although it certainly would explain a lot.
