Now, if you will look at a globe you can easily see why Iran and Russia do not want our anti-missile missiles in Poland.
The world, gentlemen and ladies, changed and no one really seemed to notice.
Bump and Update
A reader sent the following comment. While I agree with her, I think there are also some other points that the US voter needs to consider.
You can be sure that many people noticed. It's awesome. It's a technological show of defensive strenght. It's done at a strategic moment.A strong President is leaving. An unknown one is coming. USA is saying to the world: "We have what it takes. No matter what."
Si vis pacem, para bellum. If you want peace, be ready for war. It works!
It's the way President Reagan secured the peace of the world during the Cold War. I had two sons in their twenties at that time. I've been forever grateful to him for his political courage.
But what is often forgotten is that all of the military might in the world is of no value in preventing attacks if the enemy does not believe they will be used. We should never forget that when Hitler marched into the Rhineland his Generals were ordered to retreat immediately if France exhibited any resistance. As he expected they did not, and the rest, as they say, is history. Very bloody history.
Such as it is with Hussein Obama. He is running on what is, essentially, a peace platform. If elected the world will see us as embracing surrender to al Qaeda, and that will be a disaster. Like Kennedy who emboldened the Soviets by withdrawing from Cuba, the radical Moslems will believe that they can attack at will. At that point the voter will demand a response and we will have, even more history. Very bloody history.

ReplyDeleteYes! I should have said more. I did on another blog. I do believe that the message is sent, at this specific moment, not just to the world but also to the candidates and the voters. Having this awesome
defensive system, now you need a president with a strong spirit, willing and ABLE to know and confront the ennemy within and without.
It's not easy to dialogue with people who strap bombs under their shirts, and are ready to blow themselves up with you. I hope the American people will see that inexperienced charisma is not enough. I hope they'll remember that 9/11 happened because for 8 years, USA slept under a President who failed to recognize the growing menace of the terrorist world.
We pray.
Unfortunately I am not certain. Youth must almost always be served in our society, even though any rational person can see how stupid their actions are.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes. At one time I was young. And about politics and the world, very stupid.
