Obama: An Inconsistent and naive foreign policy

I hate to sound like a party pooper, but there is another way to view the “democratic change” that President Obama has inconsistently promoted around the world – incitement to riot. The sheer ignorance of our CIA official to describe the Muslim Brotherhood as a “secular organization” is only exceeded by Obama’s overnight dismantling of 60 years of consistent U.S. Mid-East foreign policy.

Obama’s handlers, who advised him to get in front to the Egyptian riot and call it the Obama parade had no idea of the potential unintended consequences of their actions – many of which are playing themselves out in the mass killing in Libya and violent schisms of slaughters and near civil war between Sunni and Shiite Muslims from Morocco to Bahrain. Of course, adding and abetting President Obama in his mindless foreign policy exploits are the Iranians, who are clearly the only beneficiary of the rise of Shiite rioters in the streets across the Middle East.

As Americans, we incorrectly tend to view the world through the lens of our own sensibilities and morals, which is a problem when our politicians – especially those with zero diplomatic experience project these Western values on fragile cultures that are dominated by tribal and/or dominate authoritarian rulers.

President Obama’s lack of support to the 2009 Iranian uprising was a major disappointment. That was a once in a lifetime opportunity to draw a line against Iranian tyranny. Now Obama shoots from the hip again by inciting the world to riot in the name of human rights, when in reality there are more sinister forces positioned in those same crowds waiting to advance their radical causes. Obama doesn’t seem to want to unbalance the delicate US/China relationship, even though China is one of the top human rights violators in the world. How do you spell hypocrisy?

If 250,000 people gathered in Washington D.C. (which happens all the time) to protest the lack of economic progress and jobs, how would we feel if Russia’s Vladimir Putin incited the rest of the USA to riot in the streets? I wholeheartedly support the aspirations of people control their own destiny and demand human rights. I just don’t like seeing US foreign policy run by amateurs.
