Namby pamby foreign policy

What a sad state of affairs our executive and congressional leaders and hired staff have brought this wonderful country to be confronted with. Thank goodness the 2008 elections are coming.

Some don’t even want to acknowledge we’ve been attacked to include massive human and financial damage, and even our way of life is being attacked. Many mealy mouth the details, circumstances, timing, and even blame the USA for the international and regional problems going on. That’s just fine to mealy mouth since conceding control to time may in fact solve the problems of the attacks of 911. In turn avoiding confronting an Iranian nuclear capability with the already announced intention of using it on Israel, will most likely hasten the event, if allowed to go unchecked.

The more likely results of our namby pamby foreign policy is to concede control of world events to others. If this is on purpose, fine; we can vote on it. If it is more a head in the sand and hope for the best, then this is unconscionable. For these USA leaders and their hired staffs, if they think Americans can’t stand war, see how well we and our allies like being attacked by enemies who said it was coming. Said another way, when we start losing the way we and our culture live, we voters will change things that could have been changed before. To paraphrase an Army quote, if you don’t like change, you probably won’t like being inconsequential.

Most Americans will not concede control of the their way of life and culture to others, even if their leaders and hired staffs try to do so. In the foreign policy area, others (not us) will step in to assert their objectives as in the Arabs fighting the Persians, or the Greeks fighting the Turks, or the Tamils fighting their oppressors, or the Xhosa killing their Zulu and English and Dutch opposition in South Africa, or any other tribal conflict (there are so many). In the domestic policy area influenced by foreign-assumed principals, public education for our children, immigration, infrastructure, and even self defense of our way of life and culture are American things we will assert ourselves on. This seemingly complicated brew can be reduced to Americans, as in what is in our national interest.

Let the world stand by. What is usually in the USA interest is also in the World interest. The present day buzzword is actionable intelligence. If you don’t like such reports after the fact, change, or the future’s uncertainty, just ask the citizens of Tel Aviv, or Paris, what they think.
