Zapatero is precisely the type of friend that Obama will cultivate, in addition to Hugo Chavez and leaders of Hamas. They can all remind Obama why he chose to enter public service–the great causes of justice, peace, and revolution.
Obama will focus all the resources of the US toward solving the problems of world poverty, hunger, and injustice. To begin the healing, he must choose the proper human sacrifices to appease the gods of social justice. If the first set of sacrifices fails to appease them, another, larger set of sacrificial humans must be chosen. And so on, until the gods of social justice have been appeased–or until no more humans remain to be sacriviced, whichever comes first.
It is a noble task. Obama will need the guidance of men such as Zapatero to see that it is carried out fully, promptly, and in a politically correct manner.
