Ushering in War

When the world's only superpower is supine, aggression becomes inevitable. When the leader of the free world adopts appeasement as foreign policy, malevolent regimes take full advantage. In a bizarre but sadly predictable turn, Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is no doubt calculating but also seemingly unhinged by Western standards, spouted conspiracy theories about elements of the American government committing the 9/11 atrocity to somehow spare the "Zionist entity" (Israel) her fate as he was a guest of the US speaking at the headquarters of the United Nations in New York City, the very town that took the brunt of the unprovoked terrorist outrage. So, what is the Obama administration response to this insult, this glaring provocation. Obama says America still wants a dialogue with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Their little mad man spits in our eye on our soil while developing nuclear weapons to become the regional hegemon and threatens America with "war without boundaries" (in most translations of his remarks- war without borders, threatening American civilians and the homeland), and Obama wants to sing Kumbaya and give the living incarnation of Hitler today a hug. At the same time, Obama is exerting enormous public pressure on Israel, our only reliable ally in the Middle East to accede to Obama's demand to carve up the already tiny Jewish state and give large amounts of what little territory there is to a new Palestinian state that will be dedicated to Israel's destruction from the moment it is born. Obama even called for the creation of an independent Palestine by the time the UN holds the same General Assembly meeting at this same point next year. Obama is intent on pulling the rug out from our Israeli friend and comforting our Iranian enemy. The rogue regimes of the world smell Barack Hussein Obama's weakness abroad and are determined to exploit it. North Korea presses the South without fear of American reaction, Iran develops atomic weapons apace, devoting Iranian national assets in a NASA-type push over the finish line to being a nuclear-armed state, Venezuela subverts Latin America, and even our trading partner Red China arms up and drives conflict over disputed sea lanes with Japan. Freedom lovers in the United States fear Obama with justification, but international evil doers recognize a pronounced lack of backbone. Al-Qaeda and jihadists plot away, enemy nations script their plans, and Iran thinks Obama is a joke as they surge toward the weaponized nuclear threshold, knowing Obama will not raise a hand. Only the besieged Jewish state sees herself in Obama's cross hairs as he seeks to mollify the Muslim world by sacrificing Israel.
