For nearly a hundred years the United States was one of the world’s preeminent powers. To the south, beginning with Mexico, tin horned dictators in Central and South America were just that. In the 1920s they felt the “guiding” hand of the United States whenever their empire building became overly ambitious. But before then, the U.S. entered WWI, “the war to end all wars,” then later, albeit reluctantly, WWII to save Europe from Hitler and the Pacific Rim from Hirohito. Then there was that little matter of the Cold War during which the U.S. stood in the gap as freedom’s bastion, lasted nearly 50 years and at the end of which Presidents Reagan and Bush brought the totalitarian evil empire to its knees. In this more enlightened era of liberal socialism, enter, Mr. “America has been nothing but wrong” Obama. Where he wooed the lemmings, who were naďve enough to believe him, the real world does not abide his “godlike” floating above the din.
Just for openers: Ahmadinejad told Obama to apologize for interfering in Iran’s internal politics; China and Russia, disgusted with his monetary policy are leading the charge to “change” the world’s currency from the dollar to some other more stable international medium of exchange; Muslim countries wonder if he envisions himself the reincarnation of Mohammed, or more likely a Christian, Trojan Horse in their midst; and Israel runs for cover; North Korea thumbs their nose at him, in fact sticks it in his eye; Japan and South Korea question the future of their security arrangement with the United States; Europe snickers; India wonders what is going on, and African nations are “present.”
