End of story - End of discussion - End of debate: This was a Moslem attack on America!

I NEVER thought I would see the day when America would be so TERRIFIED of offending anyone, that the people American’s rely upon most for all of their information, represented by the media and politicians, would be such cowards as to wear blinders rather than see the truth for what it is.

The fact that Obama has already sent a clear message to America’s allies and Islamists worldwide, that he has neither the courage nor the leadership to make a decision on whether or not to fight the enemy of modernity and Secular Freedom, has placed the world at great risk.

U.S. appeasement of Iran is making war inevitable: The Case for Preemptive Nuclear Strikes on Iran

Absent a miracle, such as a democratic revolution in Iran, or a maritime blockade that will bring the nuclear-arming, Islamist regime to its knees, the Israeli government will soon have to choose between two horrible alternatives: mass death in Israel or mass death in Iran.

Israeli leaders know this to be true. But they dare not express it for fear of antagonizing the Obama administraion, which is bent on appeasing Islamist Iran--and Islamism in general.

The situation boils down to this:

Mr. Obama's Dangerous Illusion

Mr. Obama's flight to arms control demonstrates the persistence of a dangerous illusion of the 20th century -- the notion that reducing a democratic nation's armaments is a means of mitigating the threat of war. Here's some of the history:

  • Beginning in 1906, Britain cut back an ambitious program of naval construction, begun under a previous administration, in the hope of thereby avoiding an "arms race" with Germany. But the change in British policy actually encouraged Germany's Adm. Alfred von Tirpitz to redouble his efforts to build a navy that would rival Britain's. This perception of British weakness may well have buttressed the confidence that led the Germans to launch World War I.

  • The Washington Naval Conference of 1922 set limits on battleship construction by the U.S., Japan, Britain, France and Italy. But as a result, Japan instead focused on building other kinds of warships, paving the way for Pearl Harbor.

  • Britain's policy of restraint in military production during the 1930s -- combined with the refusal of British and French governments to send forces to turn back Hitler's then weak army when it violated the Versailles Treaty by remilitarizing the Rhineland in 1936 -- did not placate Hitler. It only whetted the dictator's appetite, generating what Winston Churchill called the "unnecessary war," World War II, which might never have occurred had the Western allies maintained their armaments and a firm policy during the years that led up to it.

  • The U.S. signed the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks antiballistic missile treaties with the Soviet Union in 1972, expecting they would produce a "stable" balance and ultimately a reduction in nuclear armaments. Instead the Soviets continued their race for nuclear superiority, as summed up in congressional testimony by Jimmy Carter's Defense Secretary Harold Brown in 1979: "[W]hen we build, they build. When we cut, they build." As President Ronald Reagan observed in a 1985 radio address on the Strategic Defense Initiative missile defense program the Soviets never accepted the "innocent" American notion "that being mutually vulnerable to attack was in our common interest."

  • As soon as the Soviets signed the 1972 convention banning the manufacture of biological weapons, they immediately (secretly) ramped up their production of such weapons.

  • The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet empire were brought about not by arms reductions, but by Reagan's unwillingness to give up work on SDI. Soviet Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev recognized the Soviets simply lacked the means to compete.
