How’s That Working for Us?
Remember, during the campaign, how we were told that a more compatible approach to our enemies was what was missing in our reputation world wide and that a change would elevate our status around the world? In one fell swoop, one lost week end, North Korea detonates a nuclear weapon the size of the Hiroshima bomb, Iran rejects the nuclear plan of the west and sends warships into neutral waters, and it is speculated that Hugo Chavez is sending Uranium to Iran, I’m sure for peaceful purposes. Do you feel better about ourselves now? Safer? The kinder, gentler President’s joking with Chavez seems to have certainly moved him towards our side. But of course we can depend on the toothless UN to bail the west out. NOT!!
There is no policy or approach that will get any of theses governments to have any respect for the U.S., none, they HATE us period. The only approach to protect ourselves is to aggressively prevent these things from happening. Do I want to see lives lost. Absolutely not but the reality is, lives will be lost either way, so at least let us die fighting to save ourselves. The announcement that a real, not imagined, missile terrorist plot was prevented, reported by Iran’s president no less, had better wake us up or 911 will seem like small potatoes in the loss of life of innocent non-combatants. This is not a drill. We are under legitimate attack and will likely be for the rest of time. This President is not ready, is delusional about the non-threat and thinks if we don’t acknowledge that there are terrorists they will stop being such, forgetting that enemies don’t buy into rhetoric like people who will do anything to feel hope, even ignoring facts to feel better, like those who voted for him in the last election. Our enemies believe they are honored by their God dying for their “just” cause. If they are honored for killing us, what makes anyone believe that they are going to stop trying? Wake up or die. There is no grey area in between.
