They will try to walk all over him, convinced that he has no backbone. Obama does no understand the main lesson of the history of the last 75 years: You cannot appease an unappeaseable power. Iran, like Nazi Germany, is unappeaseable. Either the Ayatollahs will be overthrown first or they are going to provoke a massive war.

It’s curious that Bush, who so many oh-so-intelligent people consider a dunce, quickly gained a far more sophisticated understanding to the real causes of the terrorism and the long-term strategy to fight it, than they did. Most of the people who consider Bush a dunce still do not understand what is going on, what caused it, and how to fight it, and that includes Obama. He’d better learn PDQ.
