Rockets Away!

It will be interesting to see how Mr. Obama responds to the North Korean rocket launch. I suspect we will see a repeat of Bill Clinton's do-nothing approach -- except with even more rhetoric.

The administration has somewhat painted itself into a corner. It appears that Mr. Obama has obtained some political capital among world leaders -- especially in Europe. Will he spend it in the U.N. Security Council? I doubt that he knows how to wield it effectively -- which begs the question -- who will he turn to for advice? Sarkozy? -- no -- Medvedev?? -- possibly -- Hillary? -- I wonder just how much power she truly has within the administration.... She might just ask Bill -- which brings us back to the first paragraph. Ultimately, I suspect it will be a matter of whatever "polls" best. Which again is reminiscent of Bill Clinton. I guess we should expect no less when we elect leaders who have no moral compass.

Now, the real question is what SHOULD we do????

A League of Democracies

The concept of a League of Democracies has merit. If....

If we would pull out, or at least limit our involvement in the U.N.
If it limited its role to specific areas that were not issues of sovereignty of member states.
If the members were unified in their stance against aggressive behavior such as that of Iran or North Korea.
If -- well, you get the picture.

Otherwise it just becomes another "death-by-committee" stroke by the purveyors of a one-world government. Please, Senator McCain, don't go down that road.
