Hugo Chavez won his re-election bid for the Venezuelan Presidency. Is anyone surprised that Chavez won? He is a socialist dictator that has been
controlling more and more of Venezuela’s media.
Of course, he’s also going to move to control the electoral
process. Evil people in power tend not
to want to give up their power. “Power corrupts
and absolute power corrupts absolutely” is a good axiom to remember when
dealing with evil dictators and big government.
The real question is if we’re going to try to help countries to either
choose freedom, or choose democracy, which countries do we help?
President George W. Bush’s two main countries that his
Administration focused on were Afghanistan and Iraq. Going into Iraq and Afghanistan started out
to be battlegrounds in the larger war on terror. They eventually became projects in helping
Iraqi’s and Afghani’s build democracies with free and fair elections. Our problem in those countries were that we
thought they could build new free governments in a year or two, when it took us
13 years to get our Constitutional Republic under the current Constitution.
President Barack Obama chooses countries like Libya and
Egypt supposedly to spread democracy for “humanitarian reasons.” The problem President Obama has created for
himself in those countries is that he has supported known Islamic fascist
organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood, as if they’re going to spread
freedom for those people. The Muslim
Brotherhood is going to be just as dictatorial as Qaddafi. They might even be more radically Islamic
than Qaddafi.
President Obama seems to be all too
eager to go into other countries for “humanitarian reasons” like Egypt and
Libya, but won’t help the people in Iran during the green movement or the people
in Venezuela against Chavez. However,
Mubarak and Qaddafi, as evil as they were, President Bush’s Administration was
able to convince them to help us fight terrorism in the Middle East.
Two of the biggest enemies of President Bush’s
Administration were Venezuelan President Chavez and the Iranian President, but
it’s the opposition in those two countries President Obama just so happens to
seemingly ignore. Moreover, it’s Mubarak
and Qaddafi, who started helping Bush fight terrorism, that President Obama
decided to oppose. Where are President
Obama’s true priorities in foreign policy?
It seems to be the exact opposite of President Bush’s policies.
America is the greatest country on earth and we are the only
country with the moral integrity to hold the torch of liberty and lead the
fight for liberty all around the world.
The increasingly shrinking world and the increasing number of evil
leaders in some countries that have desires to destroy other nations is the cause
that America must stay involved in the world.
We cannot afford to isolate ourselves.
However, we are an independent and sovereign nation. We should still prudently base our foreign
policy on our own American interests before we get directly involved in some
foreign crises. We should focus on
promoting the ideas and principles of freedom, rather than specific forms of
government.
International relations are a complex chess game that
America is playing for the cause of freedom and liberty. We don’t just have one enemy in the Middle
East. We have a enemy in the
Asia-Pacific region known as China.
Russia threatens our Eastern European allies and us. Iran is our primary Middle Eastern enemy that
could reach all the way down Africa as well.
We also have a Communist enemy in Venezuela by the name of Hugo Chavez
in the South American region. If America
isn’t careful, our enemies are going to realize that there isn’t much
difference between Communism and Islamic Fascism. The only difference is that one is secular and
the other is religious. America is the
only country right now that is in the position to show strength and clarity in
our resolve for peace and freedom against the forces of Secular Communism and
Islamic Fascism.
