Since the formation of the United Nations sixty odd years ago, diplomacy took on a new meaning. The permanent members of the Security Council quickly became powerless as “democracy” within the member nations simply allowed the United Nations to become a platform for anti- Western but moreover anti-American rhetoric. The real business of being the watch dog for maintaining peace in the world was placed on the backburner years ago while special committee after special committee was formed to stifle the good things the United Nations could accomplish for meaningless nonsense. This has allowed the organization to become bloated with third world bureaucrats who are strong on talking about nothing substantive, but is even better at doing nothing, all in the name of that double-speak word called diplomacy.

Very few American’s with a voice have exposed the United Nations for what it truly is and represents. That is because it is regarded as undiplomatic to do so. New York for sixty years has been the host to every spy and sworn enemy of the United States because the Rockefeller family constructed and donated the building to be used as the headquarters for the new “League of Nations”. From Castro to Khrushchev to Idi Amin to Gadaffi, dictators have used the U.N. as a platform for hate against the west and in particular, America while we have used diplomacy as our tool to promote peace and harmony. Has the world become a better place? I don’t think so. In fact if anything it has made the United States a laughing stock as for fifty years we have allowed ourselves to become the punch bag for what is wrong with the world.

Now we are entering a new era. I have named it the “era of pandering”. After Obama earlier this year made a speech reaching out to Iranians as they were celebrating Norooz (New Year) and finishing it in Fasi, (the native Persian tongue) I came to the realization his administration’s foreign policy is going to be all about pandering and little else. What good did that speech do? In response, the first opportunity Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad has to get onto a stage outside of Iran, he condemns America’s closest ally, Israel. An attack like this upon Israel is virtually an attack on America also. South Africa booted out their last President and he is about to be replaced by that corrupt, swindling, murdering thug Jacob Zuma. Why no outcry? Because Nelson Mandela supports the appointment and oh yes, we must pander to the founder of the new South Africa, a country that has moved to hell in a hand basket since majority rule. I almost threw up when a camera showed a smiling Obama shaking hands with Chavez of Venezuela while accepting a gift from a man who is not only classified as a nutcase of a dictator, but one who has squandered his country’s oil wealth, all on pointless but hugely costly and ineffective social programs.

For a few months in late 1938 after Chamberlain returned with the “Munich Treaty” document proclaiming peace in our lifetime, the British were sucked in to believing appeasement was going to be the solution for peace. Chamberlain sold his soul to the devil by pandering to Hitler and the rest is history. I see the same for America if President Obama continues along the path of sucking up to every dead beat nation on earth. If diplomacy has not worked in the last fifty years in solving major global issues, pandering will only serve to weaken the will of this country and the respect it has to the point where our global leadership will be lost to China. Perish the thought.
