The positive foreign policy case.....

From an article headlined "Foes ready to test Obama overseas."

Already there are signs that some of America's most strident foes are not eager for a fight.

Plunging oil prices have slammed the economies of Russia, Venezuela and Iran; health issues surround Kim Jong Il, the reclusive leader of North Korea, and have forced the retirement of Cuba's Fidel Castro; Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is facing a stiff re-election fight in 2009 amid double-digit unemployment and 30 percent inflation.

Good point.

(Plus, you gotta figure the first "challenge" in line is likely to get slammed as an Obama admin tries to define its "toughness.")
