An excellent essay by Lee Smith at Iran Aware.
Here is the final paragraph. Wraps it all up.
That responsibility to prevent an Iranian nuclear breakout may have now fallen to Netanyahu is not an indication that Israel’s sphere of influence has expanded but rather that under the Obama administration America’s has contracted. It’s a startlingly narrow focus for an American president after more than 60 years of American hegemony in the Persian Gulf. If, as we believe, control of the region remains a vital U.S. interest, the United States must be prepared to defend it. The Obama Doctrine seems to suggest it is not and we won’t.
Please go read the whole thing here.
I think if someone asked Barack Obama if he believed in American hegemony ANYWHERE in the world, he would say "No."
ReplyDeleteI do not think he believes in military hegemony, or ideological hegemony.
I don't think he even believes in American hegemony within the borders of the United Staes itself.
Pastorius,
ReplyDeleteI don't think he even believes in American hegemony within the borders of the United Staes itself.
Clearly.
In my view, he is DELIBERATELY the most divisive POTUS we have ever had.
I will concede that some Americans despise him because of his skin color. But his skin color is not a DELIBERATE deed.
Hell, I know that some people used to dislike me because I was a redhead. Yes, I've actually seen a prejudice in that regard.
But I watch how Obama is DELIBERATELY balkanizing American society.
Obama's obviously purposeful destruction of the American Dream, the American ideal, the American way of life, America's belief system, what America has stood for since the founding of this country, goes so far beyond what any president has done.
ReplyDeleteThere is no president, whether Democrat or Republican, who can rival this alien.
In order for this country to make the history books, by electing our first black president, this country has entered the history books, by electing a president, that has destroyed it.
Some may think we can come back from this. I seriously have my doubts. We would need a super president. Someone who has not been tainted.
We don't even have a Republican, that hasn't been tainted.
America has been destroyed. Not only from within, but all across the globe.
The respect is gone.
The only people who love what this country has become, is Muslims and China.
America's day's are numbered.
