Iran to Help Obama with Reelection?
The naivete of the Obama administration is simply off the charts
The other says Obama has made a deal with Iran -- within the framework of which -- Iran will announce it is suspending its endeavor to create a nuclear bomb. The story goes that Iran was visited by a US delegation (led by a woman) recently, and a deal was struck with the Iranians to the effect that if they would make such an announcement, the US would not strike them -- and would continue to stand in Israel's way, as well. The story goes on to say the US delegation told the Iranians -- flatly -- that a Romney Administration would take an entirely different approach to Iran's building of a nuclear bomb. Now, I have NO IDEA which story is true, or if either is true -- or false.
The point of this article is to demonstrate how the entire world is affected by a US presidential election. The Obama Administration has apparently been attempting to withdraw America from global leadership. It was a deliberate attempt to create a lowered profile amongst the nations of the world. The idea, as best we can discern it, was that if America voluntarily removed itself from the global picture, the other nations would not hate us as much -- and -- might even learn to love us. Yeah. I know. The naivete of the Obama administration is simply off the charts. But understand, this is the basis for Obama's "lead from behind" policy. It is simple-minded and it is infantile. America cannot simply become invisible - nor should she. THIS is the naivete of the political left that calls for banning the bomb, and most recently is embodied in Obama's move to reduce America's nuclear arsenal.
- It is the naivete that drives the motley crowds protesting Wall Street in the streets of our cities.
- It is the same naivete that withdraws security at a US Consulate in a country brimming with terrorists who hate America. It resulted in terrorists taking advantage of that naivete by murdering America's ambassador to that country, and murdering three more Americans, and destroying the consulate and a so-called safe house, as well.
- It is a naivete that fuels the belief that anything less than a show of strength will make our enemies love us, or, at least, hate us less.
- It is a naivete that cost American lives all over the world.
