The economic stuff will be tricky, but not impossible; we know what to do, it just requires the political will.
But Afghanistan is a knotty problem, and Obama isn't talking about pulling out, either. It will be interesting to see what he does. He is a very capable man, much more so than some of his thoughtless detractors suggest, and by no means an "empty suit." If any leader can handle the problems in Afghanistan, he can. But it remains to be seen if any leader can.

you are making a huge assumption, that being; you think iran wants to be reasonable, a mistake made time after time after time after time in history.
Hilter was reasonable at Munich, ask anyone around then....
restoring our image abraod...hummmmmm, yes that will just make everything hunky dory.......don't rock the boat, the wolf will lay down with the lamb.....somehow I doubt it.
