"Vice President Biden was right that the new president would be tested early in his administration. What the world learned was not good news for freedom and democracy.
Recently, Iranian President Ahmadinejad announced that his nation has successfully mastered every step necessary to enrich uranium, violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty it has signed. And North Korea's Kim Jong Il launched a long-range missile on the very day President Obama addressed the world about the peril of nuclear proliferation.
In both instances the world's equation for peace and security was altered, and the Obama administration chose inaction.
It is true that we are still very early in the Obama years -- the president will have ample opportunity to defend America and freedom, and to deter nuclear brinkmanship. I, like many other Americans, am hoping for a stronger foreign policy.
But we need to do more than hope -- we need to be doing everything we can to promote our shared conservative principles and ensure that Republicans take back Congress in 2010....."
