Using military power to maintain a nation’s credibility may sound like an
antiquated idea, but it’s all too relevant in the real world we inhabit. It
has become obvious in recent weeks that President Obama, whose restrained
and realistic foreign policy I generally admire, needs to demonstrate that
there are consequences for crossing a U.S. “red line.” Otherwise, the
coherence of the global system begins to dissolve.
