What kind of culture/society/civilization conducts and condones child slaughter? What kind of America stands idly by?

Did Obama's sedulously-undocumented education at Columbia and Occidental lend him an understanding of the differences between "necessary" and "sufficient" and those circumstances in which neither holds?

Appeasing child killers
by Caroline Glick, April 6, 2009
... Shlomo Nativ... was murdered last Thursday at the hands of a Palestinian ax murderer ...the cold-blooded terrorist murder of civilians - even of children - is to be expected...this view stands at the center of President Barack Obama's emerging policy toward Israel and the Palestinians....First, it assumes that the root of the Arab-Israeli conflict is the absence of Palestinian statehood, ... second thing it assumes is that the Palestinian demand is completely innocent and acceptable that any territory...must first be ethnically cleansed of all Jewish presence. OBAMA MADE clear that this is the view of his administration on two occasions in the past week. First, at a news conference ... In his words, "It is critical for us to advance a two-state solution." ****It is certainly not sufficient for peace and, since irrelevant, not necessary since the absence of peace is due to other, implacable/unappeasable causes. ****
...in London, Obama made clear that he supports the mass expulsion of Jews from Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria (as well as the Golan Heights), when he announced his support for the so-called Saudi peace plan. ****The obeisance and deference shown reflexively by a Muslim-raised Obama to the "Keeper of the Two Shrines," is perhaps related to this. ****...IT TAKES A CERTAIN type of person to hack a child to death with an ax. In the case at hand, Nativ's murderer actually tried to kill seven-year-old Yair Gamliel as well. But unlike Nativ, the first grader managed to escape with a fractured skull. Nativ of course was not the first child to be brutally murdered by Palestinian terrorists....And the list goes on and on and on....it takes a special type of society to support such behavior. Palestinian society is a special society. It has become routine,...in the aftermath of successful murders of Israelis - including children - Palestinians distribute candy in public celebrations....the root of the conflict is the Arab world's rejection of Israel's right to exist - regardless of its size. And the reason the conflict is intractable is because hatred ...so deep and endemic in both Palestinian society and the wider Arab world that they view the very existence of Jews - including Jewish children - in Israel as an unacceptable affront to their sensibilities. ...that murdering Jews at every opportunity is perceived as an acceptable and indeed heroic undertaking....why are these basic facts so assiduously ignored by people like Obama who should know better? Why ... Sen. John Kerry... Secretary of State Hillary Clinto...Obama's supporters from Peace Now to the Arab League to The Washington Post and Haaretz editorial boards urging him to coerce the Netanyahu government...Obama, his colleagues and supporters are not motivated by facts. Instead...by a desire to ignore the facts. ... Accepting such bitter realities would make it impossible for...their agenda of appeasing the Arab world because ... the Arab world is unappeasable.... there is no difference in principle between the way the likes of the Obama administration and its supporters treat Israel and the way they treat the US and its non-Israeli allies. ...Obama responded to North Korea's launch...by announcing that he wishes to all but disarm the US of its nuclear arsenal...arguing that US strength is to blame for North Korea's aggression....apologized to the Iranian regime for supposed US arrogance. ...Then too, when Denmark's Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen ...agreed to apologize to the Islamic world for Denmark's...publication of cartoons... in exchange for Turkish support for his candidacy for NATO secretary-general, ...It is Western civilization - with its freedom of speech - that is to blame for Islamic aggression and intolerance. By attempting to appease the unappeasable, all that successive Israeli, American and European governments have done is strengthen our enemies at the expense of our security and freedom.

Surviving in a post-American world ***Where Obama emasculates America and its allies***
Apr. 9, 2009

Caroline Glick , THE JERUSALEM POST
...the United States of America is no longer the world's policeman...the message of Barack Obama's presidential journey... between apologizing for American history - both distant and recent; genuflecting before the unelected, bigoted king of Saudi Arabia; announcing that he will slash the US's nuclear arsenal, scrap much of America's missile defense programs and emasculate the US Navy; leaving Japan to face North Korea and China alone; telling the Czechs, Poles and their fellow former Soviet colonies, "Don't worry, be happy," as he leaves them to Moscow's tender mercies; humiliating Iraq's leaders while kowtowing to Iran; preparing for an open confrontation with Israel; and thanking Islam for its great contribution to American history, ...Obama made clear to the world's aggressors that America will not be confronting them...Whether they are aggressors like Russia, proliferators like North Korea, terror exporters like nuclear-armed Pakistan or would-be genocidal-terror-supporting nuclear states like Iran, today,...none of them has any reason to fear Washington.... music to the ears of the American Left and ... Europe...supporters like billionaire George Soros ...excited at the self-induced demise of the American superpower. CNN's former (anti-)Israel bureau chief...wrote ecstatically... "America's... superpower status, is being downgraded as rapidly as its economy." ****We can stop worrying about some being UNAmerican; now it's ANTI-American that we have to see on the home front. ****... media are so pleased with America's abdication of power that ...applauding Obama at his press conference...media's enthusiasm for Obama appeared to grow with each presidential statement of contrition for America's past uses of force, each savage attack he leveled against ...Bush, each swipe he took at Israel, and ...for the blessings of Islam... America's most stable allies worldwide began a desperate search for a ... take back its abandonment of America's role as the protector of the free woIn one sentence, uttered not in secret consultations, but declared to the world on CNN,rld.Tokyo ... recognized the betrayal inherent in ...Gates's announcement...that the US would only shoot the missile down if it targeted US territory...Gates abrogated America's strategic commitment to Japan's defense.ndia, ... is concerned by Obama's...assertions that its refusal to transfer control over ...Jammu and Kashmir... to Pakistan inspires Pakistani terror...distressed at the...refusal to make ending Pakistan's support for jihadist terror groups...a central component of its strategy for contending with Pakistan and Afghanistan. ...deep concern over the... apparent lack of regard for India as an ally ...Then there is Iraq. ... Obama didn't even pretend that he would ensure that Iraqi democracy and freedom is secured ...that we don't see a complete collapse into violence."... him and his advisers make daily declarations of friendship to Iran's mullahs, Iraqi leaders are considering their options for surviving...when he announced his intention to destroy the US's nuclear arsenal, drastically scale back its missile defense programs and forge a new alliance with Russia, his words...(not) music to the ears of ...former Soviet satellites threatened by Russia. ... Czech, Polish, Georgian and Ukrainian governments... imperil their ability to withstand Russian aggression. ****The Czechs and Poles, especially, experience deja vu. Obama's staff keeps the rain off so he doesn't sport an umbrella, like Neville ( or perhaps he doesn't know when it's raining! ). ****...massive protests in Tblisi to force the ouster of pro-Western, anti-Russian Georgian President...Russia, like Iran, which responded to Obama's latest ode to the mullahs by opening a nuclear fuel plant and...advanced centrifuges in operation, ...Moscow reacted...announcing its refusal to support sanctions against North Korea and repeating its false claim that Iran's nuclear program is nonaggressive.Finally there is Israel. If Obama's assertions...weren't enough to show ...Obama is sacrificing the US's alliance with the Jewish state...to appease... Arabs and Iran, ... Biden made this policy explicit....clear that from the administration's perspective, an Israeli strike that prevents Iran from becoming a nuclear power is less acceptable than a nuclear-armed Iran....AMERICA'S BETRAYAL of its democratic allies makes each of them more vulnerable to aggression at the hands of their enemies - ...actively attempting to appease. ...US strengthens their adversaries at their expense, ...spurned democracies...consider their options for surviving as free societies... America's scorned allies lack the ability to defeat their enemies on their own. India cannot easily defeat nuclear-armed Pakistan, which..(is) Islamist and Islamist-supporting...Japan today cannot face North Korea ...without risking a confrontation with China. Russia's...former republics and satellites have no way of escaping Moscow's grip alone. This week's Arab League conference at Doha demonstrated to Iraq's leaders that their Arab brethren are incapable and unwilling to confront Iran....make clear that Israel today stands alone against Iran...Israel must move swiftly to develop active strategic alliances with Japan, Iraq, Poland, and the Czech Republic and it must expand its alliance with India....The possibilities for strategic cooperation... among all of these states and Israel run the gamut...opportunities are realistic because ... founded on stable, shared interests....The only thing that should concern Jerusalem today is how to weaken Iran both directly by attacking its nuclear installations, and indirectly by weakening its international partners in Moscow, Pyongyang, Islamabad and beyond in the absence of US support. ... The notion that informed Israel's decision-makers - not unlike the notion that now informs the Obama administration - was that Israel's strategic interests would be secured as a consequence of its efforts to appease its enemies by weakening itself. ...has been exposed as a complete fiasco... Obama's...disastrous bid to denude the US of its military power under the naive assumption that it will be able to use its new stature as a morally pure strategic weakling to win its enemies over to its side will fail spectacularly...
...to survive the current period of American strategic madness, Israel and the US's other unwanted allies must build alliances with one another ...If they do so successfully, then the damage to global security induced by Obama's emasculation of his country will be limited. If ...they fail, then America's eventual return to its senses will likely come too late for its allies - if not for America itself.
