Hopemonger - Obama to Shift Foreign Policy Emphasis to Development and Diplomacy

The appointments to be announced today will be charged with executing a very new and different foreign policy strategy than that of President Bush.

This emphasis sure puts the exclamation point on Obama's "we can change the world" mantra. First, the president elect has this crazy idea to surround himself with competent pragmatists and now he has this crazy idea that the war on terror can be faught by eliminating the root causes of terror - extreme poverty and hopelessness.
