Sorry, but Pakistan does have the right to defend its own air space.

I am not a big fan of Pakistan but, we no more have the right to use (read: "violate") Pakistani air space than we have the right to use Turkey, or Mexico or Canada's air space. What am I talking about? The recent incident involving a drone attack, in Pakistan, killing 15 of which some, if not all, were Pakistani civilians. This attack took place just days following the killing of Osama bin Laden and has added to the woes of the pro-West government of Pakistan. Many Americans do not know that Pakistan, as a nation, is full of Islamic extremists. In fact, the only reason why it has not become another Yemen or or Syria is because of the government in that country.

There was a time when Barack Hussein Obama criticized - ferociously - President George W Bush for "violating the sovereignty of foreign nations." Now, when it serves his personal agenda, foreign national sovereignty means nothing to Obama and those who are crafting his international policies -- and I use "policies" advisedly. He has brought us into another war theater, Libya, without rhyme or reason, especially when one considers the 600 murdered by the Syrian government over the past two months. Then, there are the government abuses against its own people in Yemen, and the documented civil rights abuses in Qatar and Bahrain, all without a call for intervention from Obama. Apparently, what is wrong for Libya is not so bad in the rest of the world, or so it seems. The fact of the matter is this: Obama does not have a foreign national policy and that is no more clear than in the Muslim world.

The problem with having no plan is this: no plan equals no sense of direction. And this is a problem that effects more than the Middle East.

* In the beginning of Obama's presidency, the Communist leaning president of Honduras decided to attempt a takeover of that country, in violation of the Honduran Constitution which allows for only a single presidential term. Obama sided with Hugo Chavez and Castro in his criticism of the Honduran government, threatening to cut off aid to the country. This was a decision made within 4 hours of the Honduran decision to oust the existing president from the country. In time, Obama decided to let this situation fade into the sunset, but not before folks like me made the point that this was stupid wrong, the result of having no political sensibilities and no plan.

* He took time to visit Venezuela and attempted to make "friends" with the despot, Hugo Chavez. The result? Chavez took time to insult Obama and the United States and to do so in the public eye. In the end, nearly two years later, Obama's nonsense of treating our enemies with the "respect they deserve," has found Venezuela in partnership with the Russians, receiving more than 5 billion dollars in military aid from the Communist giant.

* He went to Cairo and gave a much touted speech "to the Muslim world" at the University of Cairo. Again, two years later and without any follow-up diplomacy, the speech echoes into the darkness that is the Muslim Middle Eastern world. Absolutely no benefit can be measured from that event - other than another occasion for Obama to show off his rhetorical skills without saying anything profound. Let's not forget that it was in this speech that he labeled Israel as an "occupier" in the West Bank.

* Which brings us to Israel. Since taking office, Obama has refused to visit Israel and has taken time to publicly insult the Israeli people and their Prime Minister on more than one occasion. As an example, we remind you of Obama's decision to walked out of a dinner meeting with Netanyahu to "spend time with his two girls." On another occasion, he disallowed a photo opt with the Prime Minister. Speaking of national sovereignties, Obama has ordered Israel - on several occasions - to stop building in the West Bank and in the national capital, Jerusalem. He has threatened to reveal some of Israel's nuclear secrets to the surrounding Arab world and, in the end, has convinced the citizenry of Israel that he is pro-Palestinian. Only 6% of Israel's population believes he is a friend of Israel.

* Within days of becoming president, Obama insulted the British government by returning the bust of Winston Churchill that had been placed in the Oval Office during the Bush years. No reason was given for the return of the bust and the Marxist Media never bothered to ask. Understand that as he prepared for the return, the Brits made it clear that the bust, on loan to the Americans, could stay in the White House. Obama ignored this effort and made the return without explanation. In 2010, Obama went so far as to name France as our chief European ally, an announcement that was viewed as a slap in the face of the British government. Finally, as a condition of the New START treaty with Russia, Obama revealed the nuclear missile count of Great Briton to the Russians. British citizens have been prosecuted for treason on the basis of such activity. So much for "national sovereignty."

* I could go on and on. There is Brazil and our subservient relationship ( "We want to be your number one customer") with that country as they make deals with Russia and China. There is Castro and Obama's intentions to make amends with that tyrant. We have his decision to side with the Iranian government, last year, in the face of an uprising against the Iranian Midget Tyrant. And then we have his decision to rat on his own country, preparing and submitting a report to the UN human rights council, in which he detailed the "many" civil rights violations of the United States of America. He is the first and only president to pull off such a trick.

Point of post? Surely you get the point.
