Barack Obama "has come to a number of dovetailing conclusions about the world, and about America's role in it," Jeffrey Goldberg wrote in an essay earlier this year based on his extensive interviews with the commander in chief. He continued:
The first is that the Middle East is no longer terribly important to American interests. The second is that even if the Middle East were surpassingly important, there would still be little an American president could do to make it a better place. The third is that the innate American desire to fix the sorts of problems that manifest themselves most drastically in the Middle East inevitably leads to warfare, to the deaths of U.S. soldiers, and to the eventual hemorrhaging of U.S. credibility and power.
