The President of the United States of America, speaking in Asia, actually described his foreign policy by saying that it is "not sexy" but "it avoids errors." I am not kidding. The man whose foreign policy consists of talking and not much of anything else, says that he has avoided errors.
Now let's tell the truth, something with which Obama ought to be more familiar. There are two kinds of errors that can be made: errors of commission and errors of omission. Since Obama does next to nothing beside talk, he makes few errors of commission. After all, you cannot make an error by doing the wrong thing when you choose to do nothing at all. On the other side of the ledger, however, Obama makes frequent errors by choosing to do nothing when there is an urgent need to do something. On that score, Obama's foreign policy is fraught with errors.
