Nicholas Kristof has written an interesting opinion piece the New York Times. He makes some interesting comments on Mitt Romney's recent foreign policy exploits.

For the record: Kristof does not pen the "Bull in the China Shop" quote. I credit a caller from the Stephanie Miller Show for the idea. But after reading the article, one can only conclude that their is no more appropriate tag than this.
How can you screw up British/ American relations? Romney knows.....
Try insulting British preparations for the Olympics while visiting England for the Olympics ..... What a.... (you fill in the blank)
Kristof does a much better job explaining.
First paragraph:
"DIPLOMACY is a minefield, and Mitt Romney spent the last week blowing up his foreign policy credentials to be president. He raised doubts about his capacity to deal with global crises, and we were left hoping that if that 3 a.m. call ever went to him, he’d have set up call forwarding."
Key sentence of his piece
"The essential problem is that every time Romney touches foreign policy, he breaks things."
further
"Then there was the Romney trip to Israel, where he insulted Palestinians and left some Jews uncomfortable with stereotyping by praising Jewish culture in the context of making money. Hmm."
and
"Most dangerous of all is Romney’s policy on Iran, which can’t be dismissed as an offhand misstatement. As my colleagues David E. Sanger and Ashley Parker note, Romney muddles his own position on his nuclear red line for Iran. Plenty of candidates don’t write their own foreign policy position papers, but Romney is unusual in that he seems not to have even read his."
Please read the article. It is very important to come to realize the dangers of a Mitt Romney presidency to the national security of the USA.
