If one insists on an 'Obama Doctrine,' what we heard tonight was as close -- given the speech's core as well as peripheral pragmatism -- as one will ever get: The pursuit and defense of our "common humanity and common security."
Does that exclude unilateral action? No.
Does it guarantee multilateral action in every instance? No.
Is Wilsonian-Carteresque humanitarianism an element? Yes.
Is liberal interventionism an element? Yes.
Or no. It depends.
And that's what I love and admire about it: The Obama Doctrine, if one so insists, is, simply put, a matter of judgment.
