How Donald Trump can make America great again: Koo

---

A foreign policy to make America great again

You have hinted that your foreign policy will differ from your two predecessors and indeed this is where you will have the opportunity to make America great again.

History will show that the blitzkrieg invasion of Iraq under George W. Bush was America’s worst miscalculation ever. Instead of a liberator’s welcome that we expected and we are hemorrhaging from a 13-year-long quagmire and the bleeding is still continuing.

His successor, Barack Obama, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on the premise that he was going to restore order in the Middle East, but he turned out not to be up to the challenge.

He failed to contain the religious fanatics but allowed the jihadists to spread to Syria. Obama was so intent on imposing a regime change in Syria that he missed seeing the gestation and formation of ISIS in Syria right under his very nose.

I am a big fan of Obama, but his foreign policy has been feckless.

Not his doing to be sure, but he overlooked what his minions were up to far too long.
