Thanks to French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and his accurate assessment of the Iranian delegation at Geneva as being up to " a con-job," the parley ended with neither sanctions being ended nor meaningful concessions being made with regard to Tehran's nuclear program.
For Iran, agreement hinged on the ability to continue to exercise its right to enrich its uranium stocks, which currently are enriched to the level of 20%, some 70% below the level needed for nuclear weapons production. Although the mullahs insist that their nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes, such as the production of medical isotopes, atomic experts have warned that Iran could reach the 90% enrichment level in a relatively short period of time.
So for the meantime, at least, the international sanctions against Iran will remain in place, Iranian inflation will continue in the 40% range, the rial will continue to fall and oil-production revenues, already diminished by half, will continue to plunge. That the mullahs did not budge is an accurate indicator of how much more they value their theology/ideology over the welfare of the Iranian people. But, as sure as our president has 3 more years to serve out his term, Iran will return again to a bargaining table that will probably be more bountifully set by Barack Hussein Obama.
When all the disasters, international and domestic, are tallied up for the Obama administration, the numbers are mind-boggling. If America's enemies had pieced together a plan for the diminishment of American power and for political destabilization on the home front, it is doubtful that they could have arrived at any level of success exceeding what has been wrought by Barack Hussein Obama in just over 5 years. In observing Obama early in his term in 2009, it seemed as if his flawed and incoherent moves were made more from ignorance and poor preparation for the presidency than from design. However now, in 2013, the reverse seems more likely.
With the benefit of hindsight, we now know that Barack Hussein Obama grew up in an environment that was not exactlyy suited for nurturing American patriotism . His anthropologist mother loathed virtually all things American, and his bright but absent and unstable Muslim Kenyan father provided no foundation for the cultivation of traditional values.
In college, the young Obama quite naturally migrated toward campus leftists and their causes.He never outgrew his adolescent resentment over the fact that his grandfather had been imprisoned by the British during the Mau-Mau uprising in Kenya. Rather, he persisted in a naive romanticizing of Third World anti-colonial movements, based on outworn and tiresome works, such as Frantz Fanon's Les Damnes de la Terre. It was not difficult for the half-black Obama to integrate the experiences of African Americans into his world view of endemic imperialism,. in what became a hodgepodge of anti-Western leftism.
Seeing Christianity as part of the the Western impulse toward colonialism, doctrinaire leftists are prone to view Islam in a more positive light because, after all, Islam for more than 2 centuries has been identified with that part of the world exploited by Western imperialism. As for Zionism, little or nothing need be said as to its standing with radical Islamists and anti-colonial leftists alike as just another form of Western imperialism.
So the moderate Democratic candidate of 2008 has now undergone his leftist chrysalis, whereby we are confronted by the ultimate Obama, who was cultivated to the left from his earliest environment, through adolescence and an eventual university-level leftist percolation, resulting in his detestation of the West and America's place in the Western world. Judging from his past actions, we must assume that he will continue to attempt to stealthily undermine America's best friend in the Middle East, Israel, and that there will be further efforts to accommodate the mad mullahs in Tehran. As our president continues to show his true colors, so his fellow-travelers within the administration will more likely be identifiable as to their true place on the political spectrum. The rough road for America and Israel will continue.
Let us pray for America. Let us pray for Israel.
Deo vindice!
God bless Texas, and may the Lone Star State remain forever red!
