More fools they. The Democrats are seeking to offload America’s responsibilities on someone, anyone. There is, of course, no one to accepts them. What the Dems will do is simply abandon them. The Euros are in no condition even to assume their own limited defense, though they could be if they wised up. alas, that seems too much to expect from people addicted to the Welfare State.

Abandonment of American responsibilities will go with their economic protectionism, the demand of their most influential and narrow-minded special interests. Don’t forget, Obama has promised to tear up NAFTA, which would be a violation of international law. Nobody seems much worried about that, except a few curmudgeonly conservatives.

An Obama Administration is very likely to be the Second Coming of the Carter Administration, and we can all recall what a great success that was, both at home and abroad.

As for the Arabs, one must keep in mind that when they talk about “American evenhandedness” they mean by that phrase that we should help them destroy Israel and murder all the Jews. It’s not just Jews in the USA who object to such an outcome to the present war started, like all the others, by the Arabs.

If Obama gets in I can only hope that Bobby Jindal, or somebody like him, will be able to be the Reagan of 2012.
