Foreign Policy Analysis at AEI

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) has an amazing article by Charles Krauthammer online. His analysis of the various schools of foreign policy lead him this conclusion:

Call it democratic realism. And this is its axiom: We will support democracy everywhere, but we will commit blood and treasure only in places where there is a strategic necessity--meaning, places central to the larger war against the existential enemy, the enemy that poses a global mortal threat to freedom.

It is well worth the read so read it.
