The Current Discussion: In their campaign, should Barack Obama and running mate Joseph Biden advocate a clean break in U.S. foreign policy, or should they rely on continuity and experience?

I am living in the navel of Europe, in a small (tiny?) country. Its foreign policy has seldom had any effect or impact on the powers and tendencies of the world. The world, that is, the Great Seven have never given a damn about whether Hungary's foreign policy is characterized by continuity and experience, or a clean break. So, how to answer this question?

Still, using my imagination and common sense, I have my own answer, but no guarantee to go with it. If I were the candidate, and, then, the next President of the United States, I would utterly feel the responsibility of that office, probably the one with the biggest influence and power in the world. And, I would cope with the fact that even this huge influence and power would not make me omnipotent. Consequently, I would recognize that I am unable to solve the problems of other countries--having serious troubles in solving the problems of even my own country. Thus, I would focus on the United States of America, and forget about the U.S. foreign policy as such for awhile. That means I would order all the US troops to come home immediately.
