Obama, Like Bush, Just Doesn't Get It

[Kevin_Kennedy]

President Obama is in Cairo to deliver a major address to the Muslim world, which no doubt will explain that the U.S. government loves the people of the Middle East and is doing all sorts of good things to them.

Alas, President Obama, like his predecessor, just doesn't get it. The reason that people in the Middle East are angry at the United States is because the U.S. government is over there. If the U.S. government wasn't involved in the Middle East, that would bring an end to the U.S. foreign-policy woes in that part of the world.

Isolationism won't work. Never has and never will. Giving in to our enemies to appease them also does not work. WW2 should have proven that point to even the most ignorant amongst us.

RTS opines:

Giving in to our enemies to appease them also does not work.

That's exactly what the Palestinians and their allies believe, too.

So the players in that game are into over 50 years of not appeasing the enemy and counting.

Maybe someone should tell Obama that his interference is not only increasing the possibility of "woes" there but here....

Keeping Nuclear Weapons Out of the Hands of Terrorists
On April 5, 2009 in Prague, President Obama presented an ambitious strategy to address the international nuclear threat. He proposed measures to: reduce and eventually eliminate existing nuclear arsenals, including negotiations on further nuclear reductions with Russia, ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and completion of a verified Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty; halt proliferation of nuclear weapons to additional states, and prevent terrorists from acquiring nuclear weapons or materials.

We have pledged to work with our partners to achieve the denuclearization of North Korea through the Six-Party process. And we will present a clear choice to Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations, including its right to peaceful nuclear energy, or continue to refuse to meet its international obligations and fail to seize the opportunity of a positive future.

There's a difference between isolationism and non-interventionism, and reversing bad policy isn't "appeasing our enemies."
