The lesson of the last year is this: foreign policy can't be managed through the politics of personality, and our President would do well to take note of an observation John F. Kennedy made once he was in office - that all of the world's problems aren't his predecessor's fault.

We need a foreign policy that distinguishes America's friends from her enemies, and recognizes the true threats that we face.
