As long as candidates can be relied on to back Israel, hate the current vilified countries, favor increased military spending, and endorse the latest war, they normally aren’t expected to know very much. Cain probably thought that was how it worked in the nominating contest, too, and he has now been disabused of that notion.
If you are a foreign policy junkie and not yet reading Daniel Larison......well, you should be. This post is a good place to start.
You don't have to be a policy junkie to appreciate Larison, just a contrarian tired of the False Choice.
