In the spirit of fairness, I should note that some of Obama’s other advisors on foreign policy are catching flack from the left for having been insufficiently interventionist in Rwanda and Bosnia (and “alarmingly” so).  Now that Samantha Power is fortunately out of the campaign, this arguably might make Obama’s foreign policy team somewhat less appalling.  Of course, it is the candidate people are electing, and this reminder about what some of his advisors did (or, more importantly, didn’t) do thirteen or fourteen years ago doesn’t really change my assessment of his views.  It’s a bit like finding out that Scowcroft is on board with McCain: it’s slightly reassuring that there is at least one voice of reason in the cacophony of madness, but only slightly.
