Pragmatism in Foreign policy Part Two

How does the pragmatist respond to Terrorism? It seams the way to deal with bad guys is to reward them. Sectary of Sate Hillary Clinton on behalf the Obama administration, showing their true colors, has just given us a glimpse. By promising money to rebuild the Gaza strip.

“Hillary Clinton put America on a collision course with Israel today after pledging to press for a Palestinian state.

The U.S. Secretary of State's position brings her into conflict with the Israeli Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu.

Although Netanyahu has spoken of Palestinian self-government, he has shied away from a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict.”


Hmmm, shouldn’t Israel, the folks who have to deal with Palestinian aggression daily, have the finale say on the matter?

“Clinton, who is in Jerusalem for talks today, spoke after attending a conference in Egypt geared to raising donations for the Gaza Strip. She pledged $900 million in U.S. aid.”


Although that is a stinging sum for American tax payers, who are already reeling form the Obama’s $3 trillion Stimulus package, is just a drop in the bucket in comparison of how the rest of the world is reacting by pledging $5.2 billion.

So the world rewards terrorism.

“Rockets still fly on a daily basis out of Gaza, does the world stand shoulder to shoulder against the terrorist.

No they stand shoulder to shoulder with the terrorist against the victims.

But since the victims of the rockets and terror are Jews, let's finish the job Hitler started.”


So it would seem my perdictions of toleration and appeasement will be the guide for the Obama administration’s foreign policy is coming true--as if that was a stretch to predict.

Very insightful, let's just give the 900 million directly to Hamas, after all; you know that is where it will end up. And while we are at it, let's make sure we sever our relationship with our only true ally in the middle east.

If you recall during the ceasefire Hamas (besides firing rockets into Israel) commandeered UN trucks carrying food for the people. They then sold the food to finance their terrorist operations.

What would lead anyone to believe this will be any different?
