ARTICLE: Sudan's Critics Relieved That Obama Chose a Middle Course, By GINGER THOMPSON, New York Times, October 17, 2009
Per my "Obama's New Map" look-ahead in Esquire last spring: those hoping for the new president to pick all manner of confrontational fights with failed states are disappointed. It's not just that a disconnection strategy is inappropriate, or that the primary reason (Darfur) has largely gone quiet. The man is not looking for new fights with everything else he's got on his plate.
Thus, in the end, we find China's connectivity there more of an opportunity than problem.
