Obama and Assad

http://www.nysun.com/article/71373 (Hat tip:Instapundit)

Why does Zbigniew Brzezinski remind me of hippy beads and love-ins? Oh yeah, thats right, its because he last had an original thought in the 60's.

'Mr. Brzezinski himself issued a statement to the Baathist controlled press in Damascus, where he was quoted by the official Sana News Agency as saying that the "talks dealt with recent regional developments, affirming that both sides have a common desire to achieve stability in the region, which would benefit both its people and the United States."' [Italics Mine]

Stability is not just a word- it is a whole philosophy for a vast number of foreign policy folk in Britain and America. Stability means never having to intervene, never having to take a moral view, never having to front up to bad people and tell them they're bad and taking them on. It means descretely looking away while whole tribes are murdered, whole regions destroyed and whole nations put under the tyrants heel. Why? Because we are intrinsically evil, and if we intervene, the only possible outcome is that our evilness will bring about untold disaster and sin. So its best to be realistic (Stability and Realism are conjoined twins) and just let the evil get on with their evilness. After all, who are we to judge?

Stability and Realism derive from the dreary world of post-modernism and anti-colonialism. Think Jimmy Carter. Think Douglas Hurd. Think Barack Obama. It is the place people go to when they have no belief in our goodness, our rightness, our genuine love of Freedom. That other peoples way of doing things is just as good as ours, even if they do put critics and other folk into meat grinders and plastic packing machines and vats of acid. We have no MORAL AUTHORITY to say anything.

Remember, Nancy Pelosi has already been to see the Dictator of Syria to apologize for being American, for America's existence and for Bushitlers crimes. Hillary Clinton wouldn't be seen dead in Damascus, but then it won't be her in the White House. I predict that if Barack Obama wins the general election, he will be off to gladhand Assad within a year of taking office. Combine Obamas naivety with his belief that everybody in the world means well apart from the Republicans, and America can kiss its current strong position in the world goodbye.

It will be Jimmy Carter X 1000. But then I don't think a majority Americans are dumb enough to vote in a greenhorn with nothing but platitudes to offer.

Speaking of Nancy Pelosi, here's a tongue-in-cheek update on her trip to Syria last year:

“We were blindfolded, bound and stripped. That’s when things turned ugly, and we were subjected to interrogation by President Assad’s people.”-- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi

The claims above were made by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi during an exclusive interview conducted soon after she and other members of a Congressional delegation returned from a controversial trip to Syria.

After those details and others were published in a post, ‘We were blindfolded, bound and stripped’, April 6, 2007, many doubted Democrat Pelosi's claims and demanded proof. Today, however, I offer photographic evidence [WARNING: Graphic Photo] that seems to prove Pelosi's claims true.
