Obama has yet to learn one of the important secrets about the world since 1945: However much the international community likes to condemn "U.S. imperialism" and feign outrage at our "arrogance of power" and overwhelming military might, the fact remains that it wants and expects us to take a strong, active strategic leadership role.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, right, speaks with Egypt's Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy during a joint press conference in Cairo, Sunday, Nov. 3, 2013. Kerry is in Cairo pressing for reforms during the highest-level American visit to Egypt since the ouster of the country's first democratically elected president. The Egyptian military's removal of Mohammed Morsi in July led the U.S. to suspend hundreds of millions of dollars in aid. This is the first stop in an 11-day trip that will take Kerry to the Mideast and Europe. (AP Photo/Jason Reed, Pool)
