What scared the left in America and terrorists worldwide was the success of Democracy in Iraq. Those in the Middle East who are pro-democracy are in a state of disbelief. How could something as hopeful as freedom be dashed by one man so fast, even by a man they supported. Obama has abandoned the promises he made in Egypt to Arabs about democracy and freedom, he has in fact thrown those who believed him overboard to be left on their own after believing the promises of support from American presidents.
Anti-Qaeda Sunni imams slaughtered in Iraq: military
Two Sunni Arab imams were brutally killed on Monday in Iraq, including one who was decapitated and had his head planted on a power pole, in attacks blamed on Al-Qaeda, military officials said.
The slayings in the province of Diyala, northeast of Baghdad, were against anti-Qaeda preachers who regularly railed against the terror network during Friday sermons.
Obama campaigned with a theme that he would bring respect back foreign respect of America. He would make America stand for something good, not evil and bad as the previous administration had done. That Obama created this love deficit out of whole cloth is beside the point. What is the point is that he has made America a country not to be believed by those that want to break the chains of history while maintaining the status quo of dictators, fanatics and self appointed power thugs.
Alas, it is the same strategy he is employing here. Not just broken promises, but promises made that were never intended to do anything more than sound good enough to fool some of the people for some of the time. Time enough to accomplish his hope and change which have little or nothing to do with the hope and change of the people.
