Recipe for Disaster

The Obama administration is going to display strength and an iron will. Obama will not direct the might of America against the murderous Sudanese regime. We will not send forces in to thwart the Taliban in Pakistan. US troops will not overturn the last Stalinist outpost with its cult of personality starving millions in North Korea. The US will sit silently as Iran develops a nuclear weapon apace with the avowed intention of destroying Israel, according to Iran's chief of staff as he recently stated in "eleven days". America will never flex muscle in Latin America as the freedom crushing forces of Hugo Chavez and the Reds crawl across the continent, accomplishing what they were never able to do with the backing of the Soviet Union. Where America will show her mettle will be against the tiny Jewish enclave with its democratic principles, its polyglot status having welcomed refugees from all over the world, even Muslims fleeing Darfur, and its tolerance which permits vigorous opposition parties, even Arab ones, all groups access to their religious sites, and even homosexual "love parades" that rival Berlin's, this bastion of Western values in the vast desert of Arab tyranny. If Israel does not dance to Obama's tune, committing slow suicide by welcoming the creation of a hostile entity dedicated to overcoming the rest of the Jewish state and refusing to recognize it as a Jewish state from the start, Obama will squeeze Israel to death. Obama can actively strangle Israel, he may allow Iran to finish off the "Zionist enterprise", he may permit Israel to be extinguished in dribs and drabs by simply having the US delegate abstain or not veto progressively more crushing measures enacted against Israel by the United Nations. US Jews who widely supported Obama who have any affinity for Israel allowed themselves to be deceived by the close relationship Obama enjoyed with his Jewish aides, David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel. These men are witting or unwitting kapos who place their highest loyalty to their boss, not to any nation, the US or certainly not the Jewish state. Israel's only option is a first strike to incapacitate the Iranian menace, whether or not Netanyahu agrees to the creation of a Palestinian state and initiates the piecemeal destruction of his own country or stands strong and maintains a sovereign Israel in defensible borders, refusing to place a knife at her own heart.
