Hope and change captivated a nation six very long years ago, when multitudes - almost beyond counting -roared their approval of President-Elect Obama when he assured us that soon the seas would stop their rise, summer temperatures would cool and peace among all nations was achievable by America simply extending an open hand to our adversaries, instead of the confrontational closed fist of the Bush bullies. Well, at least in foreign policy implementation (contrary to the Obama promises of keeping our doctor and health insurance), this President has been true to his word, by pursuing an American leadership retreat across every continent on the globe. Instead of projecting American power to deter, or if undertaken, to punish hostile acts by our adversaries, this Administration has asked all the evil-doers of the world to play nice with us because we truly do want to be friends with everyone.
In Mr. Obama's public announcement last week of the Iran Nuke deal - not Peace for our Time, but peace for the next 10 years, after which most all restraints on Iran's nuclear weapons program will be lifted- he called out the blood thirty butchers of Tehran and pleaded with them to enter "Like" on the President's facebook page:
"Our differences are real and the difficult history between our nations cannot be ignored.
But it is possible to change the path of violence and rigid ideology in foreign policy based upon threats to attack your neighbors ... That's a dead end.
A different path, one of tolerance and peaceful resolution of conflict leads to ... more engagement with the international community, and the ability of the Iranian people to prosper and thrive.
This deal offers an opportunity to move in a new direction. We should seize it."
Ah, if only the REAL WORLD'S malevolent dictators were swayed by such SWEET REASONING to repudiate their brutal intentions to dominate and conquer. Most assuredly, insane monsters such as Hitler and Stalin, having lived through the horrors of WWI, with millions upon millions slaughtered, would have recognized, had Obama told them, that going to war again just 20 years after the 1920 Paris Peace Treaty was definitely a "dead end". Of course insane dictators care little, if at all, for the millions upon millions killed in their wars, so long as they triumph - as they always expect to do.
So, count me skeptical as to the mad mullahs of Iran being swept away by the silky tones of Mr. Obama's offers of warm fellowship and friendship, when their sole and exclusive objective is making everyone worldwide bow down in obedience to their Deity, or die.
