Obama and Re-Engagement

It is encouraging to see the president of the United States travelling globally to try to mend fences and create stability in the world. His recent trips to Korea and China offer new hope that, eventually, countries might agree to disagree and live a little more peacefully with one another. Perhaps Obama did deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize after all. He may turn out to be the man who begins to make the world a global village where we all understand our differences and live peacefully together anyway. Unfortunately, he’ll probably have a harder time convincing the southern conservatives of the States than the president of Korea. Before global peace can occur, ignorance in the States among those who believe that the only way is the American way will have to be eliminated.
