Response to the following :
Does the United States now follow a moral idealist or a political realist approach in international affairs?
To what extent? As I indicated above, I think America is treading on thin ice in a sense with the Obama Administration trying to be realistically pragmatic in terms of our operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, while at the same time, trying to be idealistic, in terms of America's moral responsibilities; and as an important piece within the War on Terror. In a sense, in both Bush & Obama administrations, we are once again trying to make our world safe for democracy, just as Wilson tried following World War I and the League of Nations.
