Obama will restore respect
|
My overseas career began in 1962, when I left our Richfield Springs dairy farm for a two-year Peace Corps teaching assignment in Iran. From this initial challenge that demanded the use of a different language (Farsi), and getting used to a variety of unusual foods, customs and living conditions, I joined the U.S. Foreign Service.
For the next 30 years, my wife, children and I lived in Africa and Southeast Asia, working with the Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Peace Corps to promote agriculture, health and education progress. We are now enjoying both grandparent duties and retirement life here in Rehoboth Beach, Del.
Given our exposure to critical development problems in the world, and the deteriorated standing of U.S. leadership in foreign policy, we have joined over 240 former career diplomats by signing a declaration to support Sen. Barack Obama.
These former officers have had long experience in implementing national security strategies and foreign policy under both Republican and Democratic administrations. The full declaration, “Experience Speaks Out: Former US Diplomats for Obama,” and the full list of signatories can be read at foreignpolicyforobama.com.
A major theme in today’s presidential campaign is the need for America to reestablish its international credibility. We strongly believe that Sen. Obama has the qualifications required to restore the leadership and respect that once characterized our standing in the world.
He has the capacity to make bipartisanship possible again and the judgment and vision to set our nation on the path to a better future. Here on Delmarva and in the rest of the country, that leadership will enhance our prospects for success in a troubled economy, by reducing our reliance on imported oil and by improving the access of our farms and factories to foreign markets.
