The Reality Of Post-Americanism Starts Sinking In
Wow :
Jules Crittenden comments on President Sarkozy’s statement at the United Nations last week: “It’s a sad state of affairs when a Frenchman mocks an American president and you have to go with the Frog.” Here’s what the man said:
President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite. Iran since 2005 has flouted five security council resolutions. North Korea has been defying council resolutions since 1993. I support the extended hand of the Americans, but what good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community? More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe a UN member state off the map.
You know America is losing its teeth when the French President criticizes American foreign policy as being too timid.
The Europeans have always felt comfortable taking contrarian stances toward American foreign policy in the past, a luxury they knew came from the inevitability that America would eventually take care of our mutual problems regardless. But now, as Iran arms itself with nuclear weapons and the Russians begin to flex their muscles again, European leaders are having to reevaluate their enthusiasm for an emasculated USA under (mmm mmmm mmm) Barack Hussien Obama.
