Japanese fishermen have finished killing some of the 250 dolphins trapped recently in what activists say was the biggest roundup they have witnessed in the last four years. Sea Shepherd, best known for its anti-whaling activities, said the fishermen first selected 52 dolphins to keep alive for sale to aquariums and other customers. They included a rare albino calf and its mother. (AP Photo/Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) NO SALES

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.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, center, follows a Shinto priest to pay respect for the war dead at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo Thursday, Dec. 26, 2013. Abe visited Yasukuni war shrine in a move sure to infuriate China and South Korea. The visit to the shrine, which honors 2.5 million war dead including convicted class A war criminals, appears to be a departure from Abe's "pragmatic" approach to foreign policy, in which he tried to avoid alienating neighboring countries. It was the first visit by a sitting prime minister since Junichiro Koizumi went to mark the end of World War II in 2006. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi)
