			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Neville Chamberlain, as Prime Minister of Great Britain during the thirties, believed a commitment to peace was the better route to handle grievances between countries and thus appeasement would thwart the aggressive demands of any dictator by removing the need for him to adopt such strong-arm tactics. While it was a very noble principle, Adolf Hitler took Chamberlain’s view as one of weakness and we all know what happened to the world after he returned from Germany in September 1938 with the Munch Agreement in hand. After stepping off the plane on British soil holding aloft the document, Chamberlain proclaimed, “Peace for our time!” Less than one year later, he was out of power and Britain was brought to its knees by the Second World War.</p>
<p>President Obama’s speech to the United Nations was one that Chamberlain could have written for him. While I am cognizant of the fact President Bush and his slimy lieutenant, Cheney, helped destroy so much of our credibility in the eyes of all the world but our allies, I believe embarking upon a campaign of apologies for past wrongs weakens our resolve to create “peace for our time”, not strengthens it. History is the greatest teacher of all and sometimes what we may consider a new idea or approach, we may even find if we delve into our history books the new idea/approach in question may have been attempted without success many times before. Certainly the path President Obama is presently walking has been tried before and has failed miserably. Chamberlain died a sad and broken man months before the Battle of Britain was won.</p>
<p>Although I hate admitting it, when it comes to handling foreign policy, President Reagan was light years ahead of any President before him or since. Firstly, he had such charm that even his greatest enemies wilted like dying roses in his presence. Secondly, he was possessed of a goal for handling every issue that he was confronted with. Kaddafi disappeared off the scene somewhat when his tent in Tripoli was blown up by some rockets fired by F 111. The day he uttered, “Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall” will go down in history as the day communism and the Soviet Union started their rapid collapse. For me, as a patriotic American citizen and not a green card holder, temporary legal or illegal here for a free ride, I feel President Obama in his zeal to show the world a different side to America, is hastening our decline as the world’s super power and sending Americans down the same road as Caligula did to the Roman Empire. At the rate it is happening, I will see in my lifetime America answering to China and India. Oh, by the way, Wall Street is already betting on this happening. Many are grandstanding on the business TV channels already publicly announcing Main Street America better get used to no jobs or lower incomes and China ruling the world. Just shows what a nasty and traitorous creed of people our country has bred to hold the reins of commerce.</p>
<p>I am not giving up though. President Obama, you need to study up on Sir Winston Churchill, voted at the turn of the 21st century as the greatest leader of the twentieth century. The great thing is Sir Winston was not only the greatest orator, he was a prolific writer. In the nineteenth century he warned the world of Muslim extremism, its credence of hate and its desire to take its peoples back to an eighth century lifestyle! Churchill was a lone wolf in the late forties when he declared an iron curtain had descended upon central and eastern Europe. Today America is in crisis never felt since the days of the Great Depression. We need leadership and we need to be told the sacrifices the bulk of American society is presently making will indeed lead to a stronger and greater nation. We don’t want to be told the dollar will lose its world currency status. We don’t want to be told America can’t make anything anymore and we are dependant upon Chinese altruism to support us. What we want is America to remain the beacon of freedom, democracy and prosperity for all and not be apologetic to the scumbags who will never practice freedom, democracy and prosperity for all.</p>
