The Obama Twist
(Ltr, 11, 21 March, 2009)


When the dance, called the twist came out in the 1960s, everyone wanted to be part of the fad. It was the thing to do, like the hula-hoop, and everyone jumped on the bandwagon to learn how to twist, and shake their hips to keep that hula-hoop balanced properly. It was a change, because we all know the world keeps changing, and this was the new thing on the block, like Elvis was. In the political arena, it has always been upscale towards war, who can take what they’ve longed for away from the others. The only thing that has changed in this arena is how to acquire it. When you want a bomb that can reach Israel, and destroy it, like so many dictators in the past have tried to get, get it one way or the other, Syria is also after it. And one of them will use it. Justify it as everyone turns into marshmallows. This is Iran’s quest, Syria’s quest, the Middle East Quest, all the Arab countries would like to see Israel destroyed; Iran is the only one brave enough to say so. If Israel has learned anything, it is how to think like its enemy, the one thing we have never paid any attention to, is not trying to think like our enemies, we think they think like us, and they don’t.
A friend of mine, back about fifteen-years ago, a professor, with a PH.D., who taught at a well known University, her and I sat one afternoon in a bookstore and talked about the world at large. She was like Obama, a lover of peace by way of talk therapy and wishful thinking, not an once of experience in war how the mind works, or cultural matters, and if it was up to her, the United States would have grounded all its military might long ago: buried all its nuclear weapons, cut the Army perhaps to clerks only. She meant well, and I liked her, but I asked, “Don’t you think while your creating this glories world, somebody might want to take it away?”
Well, she lived in a bubble, as does Obama, and by the time she could figure out her response to me, there was a war in Kuwait, and I told her when the war started, “They did what you suggested the United States should do, now what?”
As we all know from those days, women were raped, people misplaced, oil wells went up in flames, and for the most part, Kuwait was under the heel of Iraq, and it’s Army.
Kuwait was the envy of the Middle East as far as lifestyle went and money. When it came to preserving their freedom, or protecting their wives, they were as helpless as a blue jay in the grip of a hawk.
Iran will do what they want, and say want they need to say, and no matter what, it is the bomb they are after. As I said before, once Russian ties the knot with Iran, it will be too late.
We are worried about swatting fly’s when there are dirty infected camels to kill.
North Korea is no different, only that they want the nuke to blackmail the world with, as they have in the past. People think there is a big difference between Bush and Obama, in this arena. As far as Iran goes and North Korea, Obama is just easier to push around, with Bush they had to bite their fingers a little, and Russia had to count the cost. Russia no longer is afraid to put their cards on the table since Bush is history. If the world thinks they are safer because of Obama, they will have rude awakening. Bush was wrong on many of his later decisions in the White House, but Obama is wrong on a lot of his beginning decision and he’s just been in the office a few months, let’s hope he can shift gears before it is too late.

Recommendations:

Let me give a quick piece of advise to the President, he won’t listen I know, although he did pay attention to that little girl who wanted her school painted so who knows. It’s not time to plant a victory garden, as they seem to be doing near the White House, I suggest, they neutralize Iran and North Korea, and Syria, then they will have something to be victorious over. I’ll even provide the seeds.

My recommendations for Israel is to get off their stool, and take some action, before it is too late; the US is not going to start WWIII over you folks most likely, although we have a commitment, I doubt you can trust Obama to sent in the fleet when you get hit, and I mean hit hard. I do realize you get billions of dollars from the US to stand down, but you got to over look this, and do what is right for your people.

Advice for South Korea and Japan: you got three choices: continue to be blackmailed, get the nukes ready, because Obama is not going to stop the North in doing so, or burn your candles low so the North won’t shoot straight, when they get the fat boy.
