Late in last fall's Presidential campaign, Joe Biden predicted that if elected, Barack Obama would be tested by foreign powers within the first six months of his administration:
It's starting to look as though we may have several, and it may not take six months. The latest is North Korea's threat of war against the South:
North Korea warned Sunday that South Korea's confrontational policies may trigger a war on the divided peninsula, a message coming two days after the communist country vowed to abandon all peace agreements with its southern neighbor.
Obviously, it's unfair to blame everything that happens in the world on Barack Obama, just as it was unfair for the Democrats to blame everything on President Bush. But, as Biden implicitly recognized, our new President is regarded around the world as inexperienced and weak, and that could make the next few months a critical period on a number of international fronts.
