Tom Frum : Time after time , President Barack Obama has ducked foreign policy issues . Over the past six months , the sovereign state of Ukraine -- a country of 50 million -- has chased out a corrupt authoritarian Russian-backed president and attempted to reorient itself to Europe and the West . He says the President needs to be forceful on Iran , Iraq , Ukraine , etc . Frum : Is Obama projecting U.S. weakness ? And is that provoking others to attack ?
