Barack Obama has come up with an interesting strategy for dealing with the evildoers of the world. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Surrender your friends, if necessary.
He wants to make Israel, our oldest and only reliable friend in the Middle East, the guinea pig to see whether the strategy works. What appeared to be a minor flap between old friends only a fortnight ago now looks like an exploitable opportunity for the man who learned about who's evil in the world from a crazy Jew-baiting preacher in Chicago.
The public scolding of Israel and the warning that it must make nice with those determined to "wipe it off the map" are now revealed to be tactics in the plan to make the Middle East over in a way to please the Islamic radicals. The observant among us have seen this coming. America's true friends - Britain, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Norway and Poland in addition to Israel - have been getting the back of Mr. Obama's hand from the day he took his oath. The commitment to constitutional government and the ancient traditions of intellectual freedom that make up the cultural heritage of the West have been snubbed when not ignored, the natural allies of America lectured to when not insulted.
We're told that it's not nice, and maybe even racist, to notice that Michelle Obama, the elegant first lady who does so many things well, has cultivated her husband's talent for strategic snobbery. She once conceded that she only became proud of America when her husband got to the brink of the presidency, and in a remarkable video of a 2008 appearance that surfaced only this spring, she told of their visiting "his home country in Kenya." Unless she was conceding that she, too, is a "birther," she meant that Kenya is his ancestral and cultural home. This could explain a lot, and it certainly offers insights now into his determination to discard the Israelis in the affections of Americans and replace them with nations alien to the affections of most Americans. Why retain an emotional attachment to the sources of American law and literature when you could bow to the Saudi king and court the leaders of Iran, Syria and Venezuela?...
Didn't Michelle and Barack learn back in university that the Third Dar is ever so much more glam and virtuous than the "colonialistic," "imperialistic" First Dar? If Israel want to gain this president's "friendship," it's going to have to transform itself into a non-functioning despotic backwater, like the rest of the countries that have won Barack's heart. Can the Jews somehow bring back the festering swamps and barren desert that existed pre-'Naqba'?
Update: In much the same way that multiculturalism is a unicultural phenomon (there ain't a whole lot of multiculti in Saudi Arabia), Obama-love for places like Syria is a unicultural phenomenon (that is, there ain't a whole lot of--or, indeed, any--love flowing' from the Syrian side).

Barrack needs to be liked more than respected. An emotional flaw I blame on his dysfunctional insecure family live as a young child.
His weird relationship with the strong an authoritarian personality of the weird Rev in Chicago was another example of this character flaw I think....oh, and his weird book praising a weird, dysfunctional, and irresponsible polygamous louse of a father.
