Recently at the UN Conference in New York there were four notable speeches. One was by Libyan President Qaddafi, a babbling idiot. Another by Iranian President Ahmadinejab, an evil madman. Yet another by American President Obama, a clueless neophyte. And then there was a powerful speech by Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu, a man of courage, intelligent and resolve.
Israel, a small dot on the map of the middle east which wants nothing more than to be left in peace, is the target of mad men all over the area who wish and plan to destroy this small nation. President Netanyahu states emphatically that on his watch Israel will not be bullied or destroyed without a major fight. He does not apologize for Israel's successes in science, humanitarian activities, or literature. Instead, he praises his small county as the only republic in the middle east.
Now turn the page.
President Obama trips all over himself blaming America for every ill in the world when he should be extolling our virtues. He grovels at the feet of dictators when he should be serving notice that a butt kicking is on the way if you "tread on us." Yet he is more concerned about our image than our safety. Netanyahu, on the other hand is strong and resolute. His speech at the UN was powerful and spot on.
So, why can't we have a man like this? The simple answer: we were lazy last year. Let's not be lazy anymore, the price is much too high.
Israel has the man we have the mouse.
