I’ve always liked the quote (and the Cerebus art) on Marc Lynch’s blog, “The battle’s done, and we kind of won so we sound our victory cheer: where do we go from here?” And I’ve been looking for a good opportunity to use it. Today I’ve found one. As I was going through my public diplomacy and the presidency files, I came across an August 1, 2007 speech that then-Senator Obama gave, in which he lists some of his public diplomacy goals once elected. You can read the full transcript here. Some points leap out for special consideration, which we’ve highlighted here. We’ll look forward to seeing how these ideas are implemented.
