Obama has a "complex view of the world"? I don't think so. What is so complex about the politics of DEFEAT that the democrat party vomits to the country. We saw it in VietNam when funding was eliminated for the government, and Saigon fell. And this was after a "failed surge" by the North Vietnamese in the Tet offensive.
We saw it again in the "do nothing" administration of Jimmy Carter who left our embassy staff hostage in Iran for a year. We saw it again by the democrat outcry AGAINST Desert Storm. Biden, Cuomo, and who could forget Rangle warning of 20,000 body bags filled mostly with black warriors. Worst of all is the democrat "complex view" of warfare and despot leaders....surrender, withdrawl,, negotiation, and compromise WHILE OUR TROOPS ARE UNDER FIRE! During a time of war this was always a country whose politics stopped at our shores. But he deep scars of the Gore defeat, the early 90's loss of control of Congress, partisan politcs has taken over the minds of the party leadership and they became bitter and hysterical, and wanted us all to throw away our guns!
Sorry, but putting ones head in the sand is not "complex"...It's stupid.
The democrat "complex view of the world" and their concern about "world opinion" is laughable. Europe in general LOVED the USA and strong Presidents like Reagan ...until the wall came down. Once the Soviet Empire fell, once the very real Soviet threat to Europe with their tanks lined up along their borders diminished, Europeans could throw stones and ridicule old Uncle Sam. I believe the Bear is coming back to life and Georgia is only the first step in a very clear message to the world. I believe you will once again see Europeans running under the skirts of Mother Liberty and Uncle Sam.
It's getting boring talking about NO MORE BUSH! That has been the only mantra for the democrat party for years. Trying to tag McCain as another Bush is a dog that won't hunt. The republican base does not believe he is four more years of Bush and only the addition of Sarah Palin has energized his dying campaign and snatched Victory from the jaws of deafeat. No...McCain is not another Bush.
None of my fear of an Obama presidency is based on him being black. Geraldine Ferrara was correct. The only reason why he is where he is today is because of the affirmative action of the media promoting this fellow significantly above the pay grade he deserves. Does anyone doubt that Hillary was so much better qualified to be President? I believe he actually admitted one not so insigificant issue as to when conception begins was "above his pay grade". Really! The man is an empty suit. He is a candidate about whom the more we know the less we like...a young man with no experience, no record of success (other than his career) and a man who changes his mind with the frequency of the direction of the wind.
Chavez ran on a platform of change, Castro ran on a platform of change, look at a map of the world and countries that saw their way of life changed forever...and you will see a leader is or was there who promised CHANGE. Obama promises change....you betcha...and I'm voting against it. The man is not just liberal..he is a radical and I kinda like America with all its warts just the way it is...thank you.
America lost in Vietnam because it was fighting a colonial war and while it could have won the war by reducing Vietnam to glass, it wasn't going to win it any other way. As Ho Chi Min said, the Vietnamese will still be in Vietnam long after the Americans have gone home. Not only that, America was seen as the aggressor even by its allies.
The Iranians played Carter which was why they freed the hostages when Reagan got into pwer, not because Iran was scared of Reagan. They would have done the same the other way round. It was the military that balls up the rescue attempt of the hostages, not Carter.
In Iraq, America was the aggressive power. Bush lied to all Americans to fight that war of aggression. OK, you believe in American imperial ambitions, that's your perogative but that is what causes anti-Americanism in the world.
Europe didn't love Reagan, most Europeans thought he had lost his brain but soon realized he was senile and those behind him were working him. In fact the majority of Europeans thoroughly disliked him or at least the people working him. Rightwing Americans might belief Reagan brought down the USSR but no one else does. The USSR was rotting from inside out right from its inception, it was only a matter of time before it collapsed. Reagan, Thatcher, the Pope, all those that try to claim some credit for the USSR's fall were only fortunate to be in their positions when it fell, it had nothing to do with any of them.
Russia has a polulation of 150 million and an economy the size of London's, it can growl as much as it likes but it hasn't got that much power. Georgia happened because its president was stupid enough to believe Bush's promises and tried to take back their breakaway regions believing the US would come to their aid if they got into trouble. Fools.
Promising the Ukraine membership of NATO is another idiotic Republican policy. Ukraine might have a pro-western President but its Prime Minister, Police Chief and Army Chief are all pro-Russian. The US would be voting millions of Russian spies into NATO.
Europeans were never as paranoid of the USSR as America was. What was in the American media during the cold war was fear mongering to keep the American populace in fear and in its place.
