The folks at Britain's Henry Jackson Society have an interesting response (click on "latest editorial") to David Cameron's recent foreign policy speech that I discussed two weeks ago. They write:
The cherry picking between the Hurd-Rifkind school of realism and the liberal interventionism of William Gladstone and Tony Blair is unsustainable. Mr. Cameron must realise now that the severe security and strategic challenges facing Britain and the international community calls for a coherent foreign policy which does not attempt to be all things to all people. Hesitation, indecision and muddled thinking are not what the present dangerous circumstances call for. Mr. Cameron's speech exposes two competing world-views and two competing conceptions of Britain's role in the world. Sooner or later he will have to choose which one it is that he truly believes is best for Britain's security and prosperity.
