After reading Obama's Promised Land, I came to realise that so much of American foreign policy cannot be changed.  He discussed the issue regarding withdrawing from Iraq, closing Guantanamo and during the fall of Mubarak in Egypt.  What he wanted to do as a human being and what he could do as POTUS weren't always in sync. 

I hate MBS with a passion and I am not defending Biden on this, but after reading Obama's book, I know to take American foreign policy with a grain of salt.  A lot of the time they don't have much choice.

It's probably a good thing I'm not the most powerful man in the world, I wouldn't give it much choice in the matter.
