...into our foreign policy [Feb. 2]. An America that shows an understanding of its limitations and a fiscal pragmatism in its foreign policy will command far greater respect abroad than one that takes the dogmatic, open-checkbook approach of the Bush Administration.

But while our silver-section admission granted us a closer view than millions of Obama fans teeming on the National Mall, we were still in the most plebeian of ticketed areas. If we wanted the best possible spot, we were going to have to battle with 140,000 other early risers. And unbeknownst to us, we were also going to have to tolerate appalling police incompetence.
