Multilateralism in its Beginning

By LARRY WILKE

It appears that at least one German didn’t continue swooning over the Dork Knight after his first visit to Germany, a visit that he made when he should have been campaigning (lying) at home. In an article entitled “Obama’s Nice Guy Act Gets Him Nowhere on the World Stage” (spiegel dot de), Gabor Steingart wonders out loud about our President. His points are valid but they need a bit of focus. Allow me to assist.

“When he entered office, US President Barack Obama promised to inject US foreign policy with a tone of respect and diplomacy.it’s not working.” “Promises” substantially lighter than helium is the Obama specialty. Anyone familiar with his shampaign to the degree that the Americans were subject to isn’t surprised by this revelation. “Respect and diplomacy” Obama style consists of an endless series of “courtesies and groveling.” “Respect and diplomacy, it’s not working.” Mr. Steingart, that is the Obama nomenclature. He has had the same effect upon the American public. Directly because of him, several million of them aren’t “working” either.

Welcome to the USA!

The shooting at Ft. Hood by an American Muslim of Palestinian descent has sparked up much of the usual rhetoric about “Islamo-fascism.” Since 9/11 many Americans consider America at war with radical Islam and to some even the entire Muslim world. Some are even calling for banning Muslims from the military, which is unconstitutional.

There were many suspicious signs that the shooter Nidal Malik Hassan had radical beliefs, but political correctness kept those in positions of authority from taking action. Hassan had stated that he wanted out of the military and was even willing to offer financial compensation to leave. Hasan was set to be deployed to Iraq and did not want to go and kill fellow Muslims.

It is easy to take a knee-jerk reaction toward these type of tragedies, but much like 9/11 they are a product of our government’s policies. While some political hacks say we are hated for our freedom, the reality is that we are engaging in wars against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, unconditionally supporting Israel over the Palestinians, and continue to have our troops in Saudi Arabia, which Muslims consider Holy Land to protect oil interests. All of these along with the promotion of decadent immoral culture by Hollywood in the Muslim world are reasons that there is a rising tide of Islamic extremists who are willing to sacrifice their lives and freedom to kill Americans.

That America has changed is without question. No one gets to live in the world they were raised to live in. My father grew up in a house with a dirt floor and no running water. He plowed a field with mules just as his father did and his father and so on. My grandmother never heard of telephones, or airplanes or electricity until after she was 21 and had several children yet I sat next to her in 1969 watching men walk on the moon. My grandfather’s generation was the first in my family that learned to read, my father’s generation was the first to grow up with shoes on, mine was the first that grew up in a city, my son’s was the first to have a computer before they had a car and my grandchildren are the first to grow up in an America that’s the largest debtor on Earth, like Blanche DuBois depending on the kindness of strangers.
