This week's big reflection for me has been about the Presidential debates. After watching the foreign policy debate, I can't help but wonder how many of our politicians actually know about what foreign policy REALLY is. I remember watching Romney talking about our role in the Middle East, and thinking to myself, "really, Romney? You need to sit in on our Middle East class. You have no idea what you're talking about." And then again when he spoke about America's foreign policy and the idea that country's have their own sovereignty, and proceeded to announce that America's role in the world is to go into countries to help them figure things out. Slamming my head on the desk. Come on, politicians! I really think American politicians need to seriously read up about issues before going into a debate, ESPECIALLY a foreign policy debate. I also thought it was hilarious that the foreign policy debate turned into a domestic policy debate about...10 minutes in. I suppose that was expected though.
And my closing thought for today: you see Governor Romney, "there are these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines...."
