Liberalism's fatal flaw is that it misapprehends human nature. It does this in nearly every conceivable way, but its most basic fallacy is the notion that conflict is not natural, peace is. Conflict, therefore, will be eliminated if the ignorance, injustice or avarice from which it grew is eliminated.
This utopian fantasy is the underlying principle of President Obama's foreign policy. Hence, he tours the planet apologizing for America's (perceived) sins. This amazing spectacle cannot be chalked up to one man's desire to be liked (though that surely plays a role). The president's humility on the world stage is not therapy for Obama; it is therapy for our enemies and rivals. It is Freudian foreign policy. Remove their fears, and their hostility will disappear.
This is a great explanation of Obama's foreign policy. The sad thing is we all know this won't work.
