An Intriguing Headline

You know how test counselors will tell you that if you don't know the answer to a test question, just go with your initial gut reaction?  I had that same sort of experience this morning as I scanned through my RSS reader and came across this headline on Joel Rosenberg's blog:

OBAMA, AHMADINEJAD, LIBYAN LEADER SET TO ADDRESS U.N.

My initial gut reaction was: "Huh.  It's not every day three of the most anti-American world leaders speak on the same morning from the same stage."

Hmmm...

Anyway, here's the rest of the post, in case you're interested:

Today is a major test for President Obama as he addressed the U.N. General Assembly this morning.

1. IRAN — Will he lay down the law with Iran? Will he mobilize the world to do everything in its power to bring the illegitimate and tyrannical regime in Tehran to its knees to stop the nuclear weapons program? Or will he be the 21st century Neville Chamberlain, and allow the world to lurch towards another Holocaust? I admit, I'm not that hopeful. But I do believe in the audacity of hope. Perhaps the President will rise to the challenge. That's what I'm praying for.
   
2. AFGHANISTAN — Iran is the top challenge facing the President, but not the only. He is getting weak in the knees on his resolve to win in Afghanistan. Our top general there says he needs more troops — fast — or we're going to lose. Yet Obama won't commit to giving our commanders on the ground everything they need. Remarkably, even an editorial in the Washington Post this morning challenges Obama for being weak and wobbly. We cannot lose in Afghanistan. If we do, we could destabilize Pakistan, a nuclear armed country. This could trigger a war with India and the Paks. The stakes are high. Let's pray for the President to do the right thing.
3. ISRAEL — Anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiment is metastasizing in the U.N. Will the President stand with our most faithful ally in the epicenter, or effectively cut her loose? Let's be praying for good news.
   

God bless Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for directing his delegation to walk out on Ahmadinejad.

I'll address the substance of Obama's speech in a future post.  I'd just like to point out how ironic it is that only in America could world leaders gather and openly speak ill of the host nation -- and have no illusions of suffering any consequences for it -- and yet, it is America that is constantly trashed as being oppressive and abusive.  Go figure.

There's my two cents.
