Was Biden Right About the World Testing Obama?

He definitely was right about Obama being tested within six monmths of his inauguration. North Korea is testing him and so is Iran's Ahmedinejad. North Korea is a very tricky situation in which he has to have the cooperationm of China to thwart the ambition of the North to flex its power. He seems to have the cooperation of Russia, not only with its censure of the North, but also its agreement to zero out nukes worldwide. If this U.S.Russia cooperation succeeds, then the North's wanting to go nuclear becomes a moot question, and so does the situation with Ahmedinejad. He's also being tested in Afghanistan and Pakistan against the Taliban and Al Queda, and so far, Obama is doing very well with his foreign policy initiatives. All he needs to do is convene a conference on peace in the Middle East with Saudi Arabia, Syria, as well as Egypt and Jordan on establishing peace between Israelis and Palestinians, with a two state solution and relationships established beteen all Arab states and Israel. Saudi Arabia and Syria are key.
