"Pax Americana (1949-2010)"

By James Lewis

"The Middle East is now sliding toward war, with potentially devastating ripple effects far beyond the region. Obama may not want it, but he has made war a near certainty by making the United States look like "the weaker horse" in a very tough neighborhood. He would never make that same mistake on Chicago's South Side. Remember it was peace-loving Jimmy Carter who brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power in Iran, and thereby set off a war with Saddam Hussein that killed a million people. It is the fools of history, and not just the knaves, who bring catastrophe in their wake.

Obama sure looks like another one of them."

Agree. I said to my Iranian colleague just yeserday "America is once again the last hope for the world". He agreed. The Tea Party and Facebook together may meld America into a Nation of small Government and a proud, free people. Where is the Republican to lead them away from Christian Fundamentalism and to the Road of Glory?
