One simply has to look at where Obama has applied pressure for regime change (Egypt, Libya) and where he hasn’t, even in the presence of an opposition movement (Iran, Syria). He has been enabling Islamism/jihad in his choices, regardless of whether this is a strategy (I don’t doubt you, Adina) or simply clumsy incompetence prompted by transnationalist progressive dreaming.
It’s all very dangerous, whether it’s about enabling Islamism or simply taking America down a number of pegs to where she is forced to accommodate some kind of post-American order.
What worries me is whether, if there is a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state in September, that Obama will cite Responsibility To Protect in order to try to have the U.S. subsidize and take part in a U.N. action against Israel.
Gee, I really hate sounding paranoid, but given the real enemies …
