For American foreign policy, no good options

Kaplan is member of the IDF (Israeli army)
When the wall fell, he "happened to be in Kosovo. . . . The future was in Kosovo, I told myself that night, not in Berlin."
"In addition to his journalism, Kaplan has been a consultant to the U.S. Army's Special Forces, the United States Marines, and the United States Air Force.

The kind of guy I would label a "foreign agent"...

This is laughable.

"In such a climate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ranks as the model diplomat. She often practiced activity for activity's sake, circling the globe nonstop before adoring cameramen while having no real diplomatic accomplishment to her credit, despite a refreshing tendency to speak boldly on occasion. The media approved of her because she was, well, a celebrity."

She did travel...
She traveled almost million miles during her time on this job ( 956,733 miles - 39 times around the world). She visited 112 countries, and not a single accomplishment worth mentioning!!

Article isn't so interesting otherwise. We all know - US has a right to protect its interests everywhere! For example in Chile. Even if it's against Chilean interest and involves removing and killing elected president of Chile.
This is more a lament over a fact that American chaos and misery creating ability is somewhat reduced.
