This what you get with a bunch of amateur Progressive/Socialists in the White House. I am referring to Egypt, Syria, Libya, and, well, you name an area of the world, outside the western sphere of influence, and you can quickly see what happens when the US either withdraws, as in "leading from behind," or interferes by taking sides, especially when the side the US takes is the side against the people of a particular country.
As I write these few words, Syria and Egypt are both in flames. And worse -- they bracket Israel. A regional conflict is just one misstep away.
Our jet set, playboy, President and his entourage are, well, where the heck ARE they this week? Huh? Our illustrious Secretary of State was off yachting somewhere last week while all hell was breaking loose.
I have seen a lot, I mean A LOT, of presidential administrations come and go, and this one is, by far, the most disconnected from the people of the US of any administration prior to, at least, FDR. Hell, the Obama Administration isn't even good at PRETENDING to be paying attention to the people of the country.
Look. I am an isolationist by nature. I would be the most happy if I could withdraw and go live in the woods someplace -- quite alone. See, I understand what drove the old "mountain men," and "frontiersmen" of the early days of this country. I share their yearning for peace and quiet and room for a man to breathe. I'm convinced some of us come wired that way. As then, nowadays we are considered "a breed apart" even weird.
