With
Iran threatening to block the Straits of Hormuz and doing a second military
exercise in as many weeks, fear of possible attacks on Israel and Jews
throughout the world by Iran’s Hezbollah terrorist arm, tension remains high in
the region.
Russia
and China’s blocking of a UN resolution censoring Syria’s president Assad for his
“disdain for human life and dignity" urged by President Obama effectively
sidetracked a move by Obama to take a global leadership role in the Middle East
tensions.
In
a report by the Associated Press, Obama said, “The Syrian regime's policy of
maintaining power by terrorizing its people only indicates its inherent
weakness and inevitable collapse." He went on to say, "Assad has no
right to lead Syria, and has lost all legitimacy with his people and the
international community."
To
the Syrian people, Obama pledged U.S. support and vowed to work with them to
build a better future in their country.
Is
there another motive in President Obama’s mind beyond reduction of tensions?
This is an election year and he may be just seeking to appear “presidential and
leaderly,” to win re-election. His global reputation, and the reputation of the
United States, is not high. It may need enhancing.
Only
time will reveal the real truth beyond the asserted truth.
