Obama hates the world's Western-imposed order so much that he's propelling the world toward disorder. And that's the tragic result when you don't realize that hatred is not a strategy
What Really Drives Obama's Destructive Mideast Policy?
It's not a stretch to say that what ex-president Jimmy Carter did for Iran, Barack Obama is doing for the whole Middle East and beyond. Islamic State is on the move; jihadism in general is raging and all the rage; and with the Iran deal, the man who helped enable the "Arab Spring" may give us a nuclear winter.
A Mideast policy with such results has befuddled many. Why did Obama help overthrow Muammar Gaddafi and hurl Libya into turmoil? Why did he throw Egypt's Hosni Mubarak under the bus? And why, as radio host Michael Savage asked late last week, does he have such a "vendetta" against Syria's Bashar al-Assad?
It's not enough to say that the Gaddafis and Assads of the world are bad men; the devil you know is often better than the devil you don't know, and this certainly appears the case when turmoil and jihadists are the apparent alternatives to these strongmen's rule. And Iran is governed by bad men, but Obama showed no interest in supporting dissidents there.
