Obama trying to make friends with all the countries surrounding them and uniting the world in imposing sanctions on them or Romney thinking getting Syria on side will effective landlock them.
Which is almost certainly expecting too much, even though it is next to a major body of water named for it. Clearly we must fire more teachers and cut more education funding; that has benefited us SO much the last 30 years. Our biggest technological (or ANY) achievement in that period was... um... can I get back to you...?
