President Barack Obama said yesterday that he "strengthens our hand" by reaching out to enemies of the United States and making sure that the nation is a leader, not a lecturer, of democracy. Obama's foreign doctrine emerged from his recent 4-day trip to Latin America, a part of the world where there is a lot of resentment of U.S. power. He got a smile, handshakes and even a gift from the leftist leader Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and responded to overrtures of new relations from Cuban President Raul Castro.
I think Malaysia's warring political camps can borrow a leaf from Obama.
