To the Editor:
    President Obama plainly holds a stronger hand in foreign affairs now that health insurance reform has passed than he would if it hadn't.  It remains to see what he will do with that influence.  If we continue to violate our treaty obligations to extradite murder suspects to our allies and to prosecute torture, any sane observer would deem that our word isn't good. We could save a lot of money by retiring our whole diplomatic staff and accept that we are a pariah nation.
