Of the tens of thousands who swarm every issue that comes
up, attacking it from every angle as if they were drones of the same beehive,
not one of them in all these years was hit by the lightening bolt of wisdom
that could have furnished the answer to their burning question: Why is America
losing the competition for influence in the world? More importantly, might have
answered their prayer: If only America
could get back the amount of influence it once had in the world, especially in
the Middle East .
You still see them dance around the same old question, but
they are no closer to obtaining the answer they have been seeking for a time
now; and you see them struggle with the same old prayer, but they are no closer
to being granted what they have wished for during what feels like an eternity.
You get a sense of all this in the John Bolton article that came under the
title: “Obama's foreign affairs radicalism carries a heavy cost” and was
published in the Tribune Review on November 9, 2013.
As shown in the title, Bolton is again doing what all the
drones of the beehive do which is to speak as if the troubles facing America
began only now, and that the responsibility falls on the shoulder of one man or
one party. Being a Republican pundit, he lays the blame squarely on the
governing Democrat who is now in the White House. On the other hand, the
Democratic pundits who are out there, lay the blame on the Republican
administration that preceded the current one. This sort of thing happens all
the time because it is an American tradition to blame all the ills of the ship
of state on the man at the helm; be that the current chief or the one that
preceded him.
The truth, however, is that America 's transformation took place
gradually over a long period of time under several administrations. It happened
as the nation left its long held traditions and began to follow several new
tracks at the same time. Two of these tracks were closely related and tied
together by the principle of causality. One track represented the gradual
increase of influence that the pundits were gaining with regard to America 's role in the world; the other track
represented the corresponding loss of respect for America that the rest of the world
was expressing. That is, the more that the pundits dictated America 's
conduct in the world, the more the world resented that conduct.
And so, it should not come as a surprise that Bolton begins
the article like this: “Under Barack Obama, American influence in the Middle East has sunk … our friends are shaking their
heads, wandering why we have taken leave of our senses.” But instead of doing
the “mea culpa” and pledging to let the President conduct the foreign policy of
the nation as stipulated in the Constitution, he attacks him for trying to get
back on the right track, and warns that “Obama is far from finished.”
Bolton acknowledges that Obama has done a U-turn in foreign
policy but falsifies the truth by saying that the consequence has been the
creation of a vacuum – as he calls it – which opened up between America and the nations of the Middle East; a
vacuum that Russia and China are
moving to fill, he says. But all this is a Jewish style mutilation of history
because the truth is that the Arab and Muslim nations began to show their
displeasure with American foreign policy when Obama was still a small child. It
was a time when the Arabs were forced to display their anger at America by
instituting an oil embargo against it in the early years of the 1970s.
But rather than back off and let these people find their
natural place among the nations of the world and fill it, America was
turned into a chief meddler in their affairs. It happened because one by one,
the print and the audio-visual media in America
were taken over by agents of the Jewish lobby who nurtured the pundits that
hounded America
into moving away from its traditional track. They placed the nation on the
track of serving the interests of Israel
and World Jewry, all of which sealed the fate of America 's
decline in the Middle East with a cry that
rang like this: “Zey know nossing about za damacracy of za Shamir.”
When the push-back began against America
adopting a new track in foreign policy, the tradition of letting freedom ring
was shredded in no time at all, and the nation was gradually turned into a
Jewish tyranny where you could only say good things about Israel and the
Jews, and say only bad things against their chosen enemy of the day. By the
time that Barack Obama got elected, America was so much in the grip of
the Jewish fist, even he could not free it from the murderous clasp around its
neck.
Meanwhile, the Arab and Muslim leaders continued to drift
away from America ,
but that was not fast enough for a younger generation that wanted to see a faster
break with a relationship that looked more idiotic than it was useless. Alarmed
by a development they did not see coming, the Jewish agents of Israel and
World Jewry began to change their tune. Thus, while maintaining the American
tradition of blaming everything that goes wrong on the man at the helm, they
started to talk like this: “True, neither Egypt
nor Saudi Arabia
is a Jeffersonian democracy,” which is a far cry from: Zey know nossing about
za damacracy of za Shamir.
But instead of mentioning the views of the Arab and Muslim
populations, and urge America
to take that into account, Bolton continues to distort the reality of what is
going on in the Middle East . Thus, he
concludes that America will be in favor with these people again if only it
continued to serve the interests of Israel and World Jewry, which translates
these days into “taking nothing off the table,” meaning be prepared to bomb
Iran. Here we go again.
And only now, after five decades of badmouthing the Arabs,
does Bolton and all the pundits like him admit that at stake are “the close
relations between the Pentagon and many Arab regimes that for decades have been
so important for America's interest in regional stability,” a far cry from: Why
are we even talking to these people?
