Recommended Reading: Obama's Christian Realism

For those who haven't already seen this noted on my Twitter or on my Facebook, David Brooks's column in the New York Times today was a superb analysis of the historical, philosophical, and theological roots of Obama's recent foreign policy decisions-- namely, the decision to expand the war in Afghanistan-- and the speeches he has made defending that at West Point and especially at Oslo. I highly recommend that you take a minute and read about "Obama's Christian Realism."
