Engagement, That Magic Word

Morning Bell: Hot Dog Engagement, Heritage Foundation Foundry, June 29, 2009. "If one word can sum up the Obama Administration’s foreign policy, it’s “engagement.” From Cuba, to Iran and the Middle East, to Russia, engagement is the White House’s magic word, an incantation that it uses to justify everything it does. Engagement’s the improved, touchy-feely way of announcing that you plan to rely on diplomacy, and it’s all the more attractive to liberals as a result."
