Fresh from Obama’s “speech” about what is happening in Egypt, replete with sound effects, comfortable in his self-styled role as “the one” decreeing the future of mere mortals from atop Mount Olympus, it made me think….
Let us put aside the question of whether his domestic policy is responsible for extending the recession and keeping people out of a job by quashing confidence. What makes me mad is how the media, the pundits, and the ignorant bleeding heart masses had the “audacity” to cast a negative light on president Bush’s foreign policy, just because of whining of a few has-been effete declining ex-empires in Europe, or the baying and barking of the hordes of blood-thirsty Islamo-Fascists, enemies of civilization and humanity forever, as dictated by their warped beliefs.
Well, you know what, those same enemies are seemingly on the verge of taking over the Middle East and North Africa now! One of the world’s leading Arab countries, arguably the Arab world’s cultural capital, will soon fall under the dominance of the Muslim Brotherhood….the same movement that gave birth to Hamas and alQuada! And Obama hastens to show his approval and take credit for Mubarak’s decision to leave, while only a few weeks ago, he was referring to Egypt as a model of stability and a role model for the rest of the Arab World. Why didn’t he react the same during the Iran uprising in 2009? Why does he go on appeasing Syria?
It would not be a stretch for the same thing happen in Tunisia. Yemen is not that far behind. Jordan’s regime is definitely vulnerable. Its no longer unthinkable for the Saudi Royal Family to be deposed. Kuwait, UAE, ETC…
Would this be happening now, if GWB was still president? If Bill Clinton was President? Heck, if Hillary Clinton was??!!! What if Al Gore was the president?
Our current elected president is indeed an empty suit; lofty words, all style and no substance, misplaced aspiration, and misguided feel-good policies…All of these implemented by a an administration who’s members, for the most part, seem like the cast of a clown show!!!
For those of us who were placed to observe the 1978-1979 revolution in Iran, and how it was incited and hijacked, what is going on now in the Middle East and North Africa is real cause for concern. There is a better chance that Egypt of today will follow in the footsteps of Iran.
Jimmy Carter, maybe unwittingly, but more probably because of his incompetence, was one of the main driving forces behind creating the Fascist state that is the Iran of today. In a few short years, Obama’s impotence, inexperience, ignorance, and misguided leftist idealism will be remembered as the reason a whole region was drowned in and lost to backwardness, ignorance, and blood-thirsty murdering mindset of Islamo-Fascism.
