Allies no longer against this

Truthtriumphs

It makes you want to weep.
It was so utterly predictable that the Iranians would have a good laugh at the expense of the security of the West.
Does Obama not realise the utter humiliation that has been heaped upon the world's sole superpower at his behest?
Of course, they are delighted that they have been allowed the gift of even more precious time.
Obama needs to be reminded of the famous remark of Churchill to Chamberlain, the appeaser,on his return from Germany and his meeting with Hitler declaring "peace in our time":- Churchill contemptuously told him
" You were given the choice between war and dishonour.You chose dishonour and you shall have war."

Melanie,

Many Americans have not "overlooked" the ruinous direction that Obama is taking us in regard to Iran and the middle east.

With the disasterous financial delimma that has be thrust upon us by our liberal Congress along with Obama's continued pursuit of spending trillions of dollars, that we don't have, on his grand socialist agenda...we become vulnerable with each passing day to attacks from our enemies on our homeland. An it doesn't bode well for the rest of the world either.

What a complete unadulterated fool we have for president. He has been a disaster on all issues...here and abroad.

Obama is yuking it up with Tonight's Show Leno while our country is being destroyed from within.

Apparently, that's what The One and his fellow cronies want...to destroy America, then rebuilt it to their far-left socialist specifications.

Obama is inept and probably more dishonest than Jimmy Carter. Fortunately Israel had as its helmsman during the Carter years one Menachem Begin who wasnt prepared to bare his neck in sacrifice. I hope that the Netanyahu/Leiberman(Barak) combo will push back as did Begin in his time.
One thing is certain, the Jews of Israel aint going to line up for the cattle wagons this time around. There are other super powers out there that will be more than interested in coming to an arrangement. That they are not "Democratic" means little when it is the "Democracies" that are so intent on Israels demise.

TD

Melanie, yes it is a concern but the bottom line is that the USA's national interest is best served by playing off the middle eastern states against each other, including Israel. By doing so the US keep everyone weaker and divided and that's all they have to do to stay dominant in the region. This extends to dividiing moderates and extremists in states such as Iran. Obama's intervention is strategic - it will strengthen the moderates and also America's hand when and if an attack becomes necessary, which is a good thing. There is no chance that the US will permit Iran to have a nuclear weapon - they would have learned the error of this with North Korea - as this directly threatens their interests in the region, by increasing the possibility of a regional power emerging, not to mention an arms race. Expect a US approved Israeli hit on Iranian nuclear facilities if the issue can't be solved diplomatically.

In the Whitehouse its the Bevis and Butthead show, two sleazy characters on North American television who were total morons. America is going broke while Obama and his silly team have lavish parties every Wednesday night paying $100 a pound for expensive meat more bucks for all the other outrageous trimmings.

BTW, hope Gordon Browne finds a North American DVD player to watch all the movies Obama presented to the Brit PM. Turns out Browne can't watch any of the movies as all can only be watched in the North American region. Just another Obama well thought out idea.

When looking in retrospect, America deserves an Obama. They deserve exactly what they voted for, a novice who never held a real life job since he was a teenager. Never ran a business, never managed a workforce at any point in his life, never needed to understand economics because he never had any need, never visited any other nation on earth until he ran for President including Canada fifteen minutes from his doorstep, never commanded military or even understood a military, never had to develop a budget, never managed a single government department in his entire life, furthermore Obama never managed a single government department at the local, state, or national level.

Yes sir, Obama does look good on America. Even the Europeans who desperately wanted Obama refuse to go along with Obama's plan to spend his way out of the economic mess by printing more and more and more money. Well, EU, you got exactly who you wanted also. Are you all having fun now?

Israel? Gaza? Iran? Syria? Lebanon? None of them mean anything to Obama. What? You all didn't think Obama would bring peace to the Middle East, did you? He'll throw around some money and hope to buy good will here and there and lean on Israel from time to time. Bibi will tell him exactly where to go in perfect English and how to get there. The usual suspects will swoon and faint as per normal, television sound bites will even make him look somewhat intelligent, a difficult bit of splicing and choreography in and of itself, then it back to the US economy while the world somehow stumbles along as its always done before.

No one would question that the current Iranian regime is vile. Yet what is so objectionable in attempting to engage with this regime with the hope of reducing tensions? The unlamented Richard Nixon went to China and shook hands with chairman Mao at the hight of the cold war (and at the hight of Mao' insane Cultural Revolution). Most historians agree that Nixon did the right thing and the world became a safer place. Mao was a much bigger tyrant than the current Iranian leaders. What evidence has Melanie got that the moment the Iranians obtain nuclear weapons they will fire them at Israel? Pakistan is an Islamic country, they have nuclear weapons and they have unpleasant radical elements within its military and intelligence services which are sympathetic to the aims of the Taliban and possibly Al Queda.
Has Pakistani missiles being fired at Israel? However obnoxious a regime is and whatever its metaphysical position, self preservation would always remain its primary aim. Therefore iran would not fire its missiles at Israel because this would lead to its annihilation.
As far as the mess created by the fiscal stimulus package in Washington, it is far too early to judge the competency of the Obama administration. This was a mess inherited from Bush who headed the most incompetent administration in America's history.

Dear Ms. Phillips: You've clarified something important for me. People who wish Israel would vanish off the face of the earth don't realize that the whole free world is on the Islamofascist hit list. Up until now, I thought they just didn't CARE. Keep up the good work.

Obama is not concerned about the opppressed people of Iran or Israel or the freedoms of the west.He has no moral standards example abortion. He's only interested in himself, his personal advancement and self-glorification. The people who voted him in are part of the 'great delusion'. The delusion that brought to power people like Mao and Hitler.

"This is what an unnamed former US intelligence official has said about the new US relationship with Israel"- this is how Melanie introduces the quote. The quote is from a piece on a website from last December. If you read the quote it appears that the unnamed former official is discussing the Bush administration. It is also the former Bush administration that allowed the American economy to reach near collapse and it was the former Bush administration that failed to address over 8 years the issue of Iran. So it makes complete sense then that Melanie Phillips would attack a government that has been in office since January.

Stephen Fox

Harley,
Have to say I agree, and by the same token, Brown deserved those unplayable DVDs, just as Britain deserves Brown. It's a shambles, and the fact, Michael, that Obama has only been going for two months doesn't change anything. He's an amateur who has used hip culture to create a personality cult to get to a position which requires deep strength and courage, and huge dollops of luck.
But President Obama and Prime Minister Brown are faithful products of their cultures, shallow and weak. Sometimes the small things tell a tale. Besides the DVD set, another gift has shown up the lack of sense and self-belief in the new Administration: the silly ‘reset’ button, offered to the Russians. This was completely trivial.

Do we feel lucky?
Er...

Israel should be admired for constructing a democracy in the middle of the badlands, but instead the left has quite successfully turned Israel into a pariah state. I am not Jewish but respect Israel for being a loyal ally to the US during the Cold War and the War against Terror. The problem is I have no emotional attachment to Israel, and yet I have more interest in the survival of Israel than most American Jews. I live in Philadelphia and have been around Jews my whole life. They have completely and totally lost the plot when it comes to politics. They worship the Democratic Party, and have been brainwashed by liberalism. To suggest to an American Jew that they should consider voting Republican is like asking them to take a two week vacation to the north pole. It is an absolute impossibility. If on the same day, New Jersey passed a constitutional amendment banning gay 'marriage' and Tel Aviv was destroyed by a nuclear attack from Iran, 80% of Jews would be outraged that NJ outlawed gay 'marriage'. The saving grace for Israel is that they do have the bomb, and that evangelicals strongly support Israel. Eventually Republicans will lose interest in Israel as the rapture interest fades, and outreach to Jewish voters goes nowhere. The main reason why rank and file Republicans favor Israel is because the left hates Israel. Whoever they demonize, the right wing instinctively supports. The promised land for American Jews is the US. Israel is low on the list of priorities. The only way Jews in America would strongly support Jews in Israel would be if there was a one state solution. If the Arabs control Israel and Jews become a minority, and the Arabs deny Jews civil rights, then American Jews would rally to their support. This would allow them to flex their bleeding heart.

Well...when this fellow tells us he is going to lower the oceans while campaigning...and there will be HOPE, we kind of expected him to succeed at SOMETHING instead of NOTHING. Actually it would have been better if it had been nothing instead of this destructive far-left agenda he's trying to force on us. There's no hope for me as I continue to lose all of my life's savings while this bozo continues to make jokes on Leno...It's like there is this little boy playing a part while dressed in his father's suit.

Obama is completely out of his depth and when you look closely, his eyes show desperation...he is already losing it after just two months and yearns for the campaign trail where all his adoring fans are...Yeah, that's where he belongs...pontificating to the masses...he could do less harm there and get the attention his ego so badly needs.

Every single action that Obama and his liberal cronies have taken has been enormously destructive to Americans. God help us if this farce continues.

Read Harley Davidson...he tells it like it is.
One thing HD left out though, is that Obama is lazy on top of all his other flaws...he is unwilling to read the bills he is signing and is letting other delegate for him. Pelosie is more president than Obama...now that last statement actually made me ill.

A friend of mine in New York told me, before the elections, that he, as a hitherto staunch Democrat was, for the first time in his voting life, voting Republican. "Why?" I asked him. "Obama scares the shit out of me..." he responded.

Now, he says, he can sit back and just smile at his friends, Democrats all, who are frothing at the mouth.

Ms Phillips, a year ago I was caught up in the narrative--our first African-American president! We can finally turn the page on racism! However, as the election season wore on, it became apparent that a President Obama was going to do exactly what he's done: spend massive amounts of borrowed money from the Chinese on dubious federal projects.
I voted for Sen. McCain.
When candidate Obama was in Israel last summer, the Israelis were understandably skeptical and alarmed. What could their American cousins be thinking, voting for this guy?
However, the U.S. has been Israel's best friend for decades and that won't stop. Ironically, the uproar from the right--not the left--would bring his administration down.

Is the daily ritual of Israel-damning in Iran only a tired exercise, a formalistic ceremony no longer accompanied by genuine passion or serious intent? Are so many 'experts' correct on this score? In a word: Yes. Oblivious to the content of their own words, thousands of mosque-goers calling for the demise of Israel are not, for the most part, expressing a bona fide heartfelt hatred of Jewish citizens or even the Jewish Government of the State of Israel. About this the
'experts' are quite right it IS a ritual. The Iranians do not really 'mean it'. But therein lies the rub. Ulimately, it can be far more dangerous NOT to mean what one is saying than to mean it. It's a question of mass psychology. Fierce anger and hatred are highly intense, all-consuming emotions that subside quickly if the psyche is not to combust and collapse. Such emotions, moreover, are not only extremely intense but exceedingly unstable. People who truly hate are often just as capable of experiencing other intense emotions; including pity, empathy, or remorse. For this reason, among others, genuine anger and hatred, of the kind that is really 'meant' and strongly felt, are inefficient tools for creating or sustaining an atmosphere conducive to long-term persecution or mass murder. That is why the truly horrific human atrocities of history - the enslavements, the inquisitions, the terrorisms, the genocides - have been perpetrated not in hot blood, but in cold; not as a result of urgent feelings, but in the name of a transcendent ideology and as a result of painstaking indoctrination.

The vast majority of Germans in WW2 did not personally and passionately hate the Jews; they hardly ever met the men, women, and children that would be butchered en masse. It was a methodically drilled-in ideology which powered the genocide machine. A machine capable of killing six million nevertheless. Similarly during the events of September 11th 2001, Did Muhammad Atta, the ringleader, genuinely and fervently hate every single individual working in the Twin Towers that fateful day, let alone the passengers on the planes? How could he? He had never even met them, and they had never done anything personally to him. And all the years that he spent in America, meeting all kinds of people, is it plausable that he managed to maintain a constant boiling rage every day he was there? What is true for Nazi storm troopers and al Qaeda operatives
is true for today's fundamentalist Shiites. It is not their genuine vehement hatred that we have to fear; it is their endless drone-like training. Their militant hostility to Israel is no more a function of immediate, genuine blood-boiling rage than it is the result of some heinous act or other performed by the Jewish State, however frquently such purported crimes are exploited as triggers of popular protest. The hostility is, unfortunately, something far more durable, dangerous, and deeply implanted.

Love the post. Keep working on your sister. I would suggest you view your sister as someone who is caught in the clutches of a cult. Your first fifty attempts to have her see the light will be met with strong resistance. Eventually if you keep at it, and quietly remind her of the deficits of the Democratic Party your interventions may pay off. If she is ready to come around to rationality make sure you travel to NJ and help her make the final step. For a jewish liberal to become a Republican will require a strong family presence and lots of support. She may begin acting out so make sure you are trained in non violent restraining. good luck!

Hey! This blogging on the musings of dear Melanie's fevered brow can be fun!
Yesterday I had a spare minute and posted the, addmittedly somewhat tangential, description of the actual FACTS on the lead up to "Operation Cast Lead/Cast White Phosphorus" You see, as (an increasingly pessimistic) supporter of Israel's right to exist (in full accordance with international law beside a free, integrated, viable and properly compensated Palestinian state), I believe that the FACTS are more important than frenzied partisan rants.Anyway. to my delight, I evoked two responses.Yehuda, bless him/her, seemed to support the principles of "International Law". With you all the way on that one Yehuda. Then Linda Smith was generous enough to label me "philosopher"- thanks for a true compliment - and invite me to convert to Judaism - thanks again Linda, but I'm headed to Quakerism.Now, moving beyond FACTS to what George Orwell pointed out about the importance of WORDS - words like 'TERRORIST"Tzipi Livni refuses to talk to "terrorists". It must have been a pretty quiet childhood at home because, as Sir Gerald Kauffman pointed out in the House Of Commons, Tzipi's own Papa was head of operations in the Haganah, which bombed the King David Hotel, killing over a hundred innocent souls, and he was linked to former Israeli Prime Minister Shamir who oversaw the kidnapping. hanging and booby trapping of the corpses of British soldiers. "Terrorists"!!??

The painful thinking necessary to support Israel's survival demands proper honoring of the FACTS as well as WORDS.

Iran doesn’t want the Jaw from the US, as in the past and the US doesn’t want the threat of a War in the Middle East, of which Obama’s address to Iran appears to be a step forward towards diplomacy, which to date

Iran – ½ of 1.

Reckless is to do nothing, we have to dismantle them all...
or suffer the consequences in the wrong hands or a natural disaster.

Following the BBC's arrogant trend of having its correpondents editorialising (and therefore compromising the objectivity demanded by the BBC Charter) comes a website analysis of Iran's nuclear ambitions by diplomatic editor Bridget Kendall.
In bold print in a special little box, the BBC website designer draws attention to this insight:
"Then there is Israel, long suspected of holding nuclear weapons, under little or no pressure from Western allies to declare its hand or disarm"

Nick- maybe you need to reread your Bible sometime. You'll find that it's not just 'these days' that so many gods are around but right back to ancient times, the first false god being Man himself usurping his own word for God's. That's why the Jews, the Ancient People were repeatedly and strictly warned to have no other gods. They're all false delusions and we are as Calvin noted away back in the Sixteenth Century 'idol factories'! God holds us to account for excusing ourselves of responsibility of hearing His Word which as fallen creatures we willfully suppress.
The very First Commandment stands as authoritative today as it did when Moses delivered it.

stanley Jerusalem

Hadrian - Sorry mate but the first commandment [Ex.XX,1] is not 'Thou shalt not have any other...'That's verse 2. Verse 1 is the first commandment,viz. 'I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt...' If you don't believe the authority vested in that statement then the rest is twaddle.Remember it was addressed solely to Jews at the time and they are thusly entitled to number the commandments accordingly.
Never mind; one meant well.
In fact all of the chapter divisions in the Bible are Christian inventions.The Jewish divisions are clearly visible as closed and open paragraph spacings in the Hebrew text, [of course]. Even the Books of Samuel and Kings weren't originally split.

hey, An American

I'm glad our rights are unalienable.

Lately I have been thinking about our founding principles and the US's relationship with God.

Freedom does not come from Pelosi or O. God declared us free before we were conceived--before there ever was a US Constitution.

We're free because He said so two-thousand years ago.

You are probably aware that in God's economy any nation who comes against the Jews is cursed.

I do not know how God will reconcile these two truths in the US. But, I know He deals with nations and individuals at the same time and with unsurpassed wisdom.

We can count on it that evil will not win.

Have you considered either of these truths, and if so, what are your thoughts?

An American

beloved,

I still use my free speech to blog, converse with my friends and to email Congress.

I spent all day yesterday emailing each and every Senator about Obama's socialist agenda to let them know that many of us are aware of what is transpiring. I warned them tha people are really angry and if they don't put some controls on him and his socialist intentions...they will be looking at civil unrest and/or an armed revolution.

I guess if you believe strongly enough in God...even if you're thrown into a cell for expressing your thoughts and words...you are free. But, the hard reality is that if this Obamanation continues, Conservatives and Christians will be shut up one way or the other.

Communists can't abide freedom.

What do you think of Obama's latest step to take over non-banking institutions associated with investing?

I believe that Obama and this socialist movement is perhaps the most evil evemt to ever happen in history...because they are destroying the greatest country ever founded by man...how very tragic.

beloved

Exactly, if we're in a cell we're still free. Our cells might be our houses, right? (ie, wacko environmentalism laws)

Glad to hear that you are rattling the illegitimate Congress...you, me, and probably millions of others. Some of our Great Leaders have shut down their email service so they don't have to listen to us any more. Tyrants.

What do I think of the largest power grab in history? I'm as aghast as anybody who is cognizant that we are quickly losing all of our freedoms all at once. Obama is a dictator under any definition you would like to offer. Treasury can take over companies for any reason? We'll work for safe companies in other nations, work for cash, or as you say, rebel. I refuse to feed the beast my productivity. I do not support tyranny. I do not doubt that rebellion will happen and may ultimately be the only way.

No country yet has been able to shake socialism once it sinks its decay into the flesh of a nation. We could be the first to escape. Why not?

We have a window of opportunity at the next vote in two years. We lost our freedom through voting; we can gain it back the same way. The only problem might be that the tyrants control the ballot box through ACORN, just as similar tyrants in Cuba and North Korea do. Plus, Obama moved the census accountability to Himself, effectively owning how districts are counted. However, he and the dems are not gods. God might choose to outsmart O at the pass. It could happen.

I'm driving my 80 plus year old parents to a tea party on April 15th. They asked to go. Four thousand people showed up in lil' ol' Orlando for a tea party, but the media did not report it. Whereas, thirty French-like revolutionaries showed up in AIG's neighborhood, threatening the children of AIG workers with death (some of the workers made a dollar this year), and the press offers the mob a platform. Even our Dear Leader joined in, inciting the mob against individuals. It is a fixed pattern with Him.

You might get the impression that it takes millions of conservatives physically taking back Congress to get our voice in the news; but, it takes only one moonbat with a stupid sign for the kookie left to get airtime.

The voters could not have chosen a more radical leftie for prez.

We will need to start from scratch no matter if we win freedom thru a vote or outright rebellion.

There is no war on terror according to this administration and our Teleprompter In Chief is revealing his "change" in subtle ways. The Middle East now knows the extent of our pandering TOTUS. Pathetic and embarassing? Yes. I'm convinced he's going to bankrupt our Country in no time flat.
