Friday, April 05, 2002 American Appeasement Mark Byron links to Mark Steyn today on a good column about Western apeasement. The point I want to make is this: Since when do we worry about what France thinks and do we really want Arab or Muslim street mobs to direct our foriegn policies? The networks say that Bush responded to European pressure and the Arab street to tell Israel to cool its jets. But it's really only France that is most vocal and adversarial towards us, the U.S.. Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain - we're not hearing too many fierce objections from those countries. France leads the pack with its rabid anti-Israel, anti-semitic fomentations. The Saudis tell us that if we don't do something we will never be allowed to do anything from Saudi soil against Iraq (which means our present fly overs and interdictions in the No Fly Zone). Why don't we tell them, "sorry, we're staying and doing as we please. You have a problem with that? Go ahead and try to move us." Yet, Bush and Co. look more raggedy on policy and strategy every day. I had really hoped that Bush would be a great war leader, but I'm having serious doubts about his will to take the necessary risks. This is so biblical - "the people cry stability! stability! when there is no stability!" I'm thinking John McCain may be the only fellow who's tough enough to get the job done. posted by Mark Butterworth | 12:18 PM | |
