North’s peace model likely to run out of steam in other war zones

CONFESSION is good for the soul so, hands up, I was wrong last week. Like everyone else, I expected Barack Obama to win New Hampshire.

At the same time, I argued Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be written off. Hopefully, we have all learned a salutary lesson about the value of opinion polls.

According to John Bolton, the former US ambassador to the UN, it seems clear that the Republicans will make foreign policy a key issue in the US election regardless of who wins the Democratic primary. It’s an area where the Democrats are weak, Obama more so than Clinton.
