Some countries to watch for possible war in 2011 are Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Haiti, and Pakistan.

Is it me...or do y'all think that Obama's foreign policy attempts are making things worse for the United States than they were when Bush was in charge?

It ain't just you. And I'd be surprised if that wasn't his - or whoever's really pulling O'Bummer's strings - underlying objective.

Without a doubt.
In the age of nuclear weapons and war. We're depleting our stock pile, while other Countries are loading up. Hence the START treaty with Russia. I have no idea what he plans to accomplish with that.
Yeah, he's a fail on foreign policy and his presidency. Completely.

Both TN senators(R) voted for START and I was not happy. Lamar Alexander wrote a piece for our local paper (he's from the adjacent town) explaining why he voted for it.

I voted to ratify the new START treaty between the United States and Russia because it will leave our country with enough nuclear warheads to blow any attacker to Kingdom Come and because the president has committed to an $85 billion, 10-year plan to make sure that those weapons work.

I voted for the treaty because it allows for inspection of Russian warheads and because our military leaders say it does nothing to interfere with the development of our missile defense system. I voted for the treaty because the last six Republican secretaries of State support it. In short, I am convinced that Americans are safer and more secure with the Start treaty than without it.

George Soros is a likely suspect.

This struck me about Obama.

Barack Obama is compared with Osama bin Laden, Mary Ellen Pleasant, and Robert Hanssen.
Based on the current profile of Barack Hussein Obama II, both social liberals and fiscal conservatives should be concerned. When the Congress boosts and submits to the Executive, the Judicial acquiesces, and the Media fawns, the President of the United States becomes a de facto dictator. It becomes the President’s values and value judgments that shape the nation and its social order, not the freedom of personal responsibility and equal opportunity under the law. It becomes the President’s ideas of happiness that are pursued by the power of government, all at the expense of the pursuit of happiness by those governed. Liberty is only afforded to the degree that it is compatible with the ever expanding power and control of the government – i.e., the President. It is the President’s personal goals and objectives that take priority over national and individual goals and objectives. Political correctness becomes a weapon for social control, and the compassion police will willingly enforce the new social order as Freedom is transitioned into Fascism.

Other than the Messiah Apology Tour '09 and the Traveling Indian Road Show, I can't name a damn thing he's done.

He's pissed off some of our best allies.

I look for  Mexico to break out in a civil war, with hordes of refuges moving north.

I can see that happening too. Imagine El Paso full of refugees.

North Korea, Iran, China, Russia, Venezuela are all getting more bold because they know he is a weak president. I think the most likely war next year will be between North and South Korea (the North shelled a South island after all).

It does not help that he screwed over the pro-American countries (Israel, the former Warsaw Pact nations, India) to appease the anti-American ones.

I can see a war in the Korean peninsula in the not so distant future.
