We could have told them that! What is the big surprise?
America’s plan is a decent one—but it will take a worryingly long time to bear fruit Sep 13th 2014
WHEN Barack Obama spoke to the American public on September
10th, his words had a bearing on more than just Islamic State (IS). His
scheme to deal with the “cancer” of IS, the gravest terrorist threat
since al-Qaeda, will work only if the Middle East can begin to overcome
the chaos that has engulfed it. Equally, America can act as the leader
of an enduring coalition against IS only if it can recover some of the
status it has lost during years of retrenchment in foreign policy. What
the president called “American leadership at its best” is thus both a
fight against terrorism and a riposte to those who doubt American power.
