Herman Cain claims that he would rely on unnamed experts for foreign policy advice. Dan Drezner finds this insufficient:
[W]ithout some knowledge about foreign policy, the best intelligence briefings and foreign policy advisors in the world won't be able to help Herman Cain. An awful lot of international relations knowledge is cumulative; without a decent base there's no point in trying to be briefed on the arcane stuff. That would be like trying to learn calculus without knowing any algebra.
