The Baker Commision

Not being versed in the nuances of International Relations I was intrigued when the media began to attach the term realist to Secretary James Bakers title at every opportunity. It seems, from what has been leaked so far that the suggestions are not so much a realist foreign policy but instead the commission members are realists because what they are suggesting reinforces the position that the media themselves has staked out for the past three years.
