The Essential Nobility of US Foreign Policy

At the American Thinker James Lewis has an excellent sumary of the state of the world today and why America is still the best hope for victory in the global conflict that we have been forced to wage.

The “international community” today is a gang of jackals surrounded by wolves. If the Pax Americana were to crumble, as Dominique de Villepin so fervently hopes, we would have a world in which French-led Europe dominated one part of the globe; the Chinese and Russians competed over another; and the rest would be torn among three virulently Islamist Caliphates—- Iranian, Egyptian-Saudi, and probably Turkish. If you doubt it, consider the pathetic UN vote just a week ago, for a new “UN Human Rights Commission,” with members like Cuba, Libya and even the genocidal looney-tunes who run the Sudan. In the UN General Assembly the vote against the United States was 170 to four.

Pathetic. And dangerous.

Only the United States and the Anglosphere have the power and basic decency to stand for humane values. France would sell out at the first threat or drop of a bag of gold. England is being drawn ever deeper into the bureaucratic quagmire of the EU, a new, self-serving aristocracy which has never bothered with democratic elections. The EU is now busily finding ways around the popular vote against its bizarre Constitution in several countries, even France. For the EU, democracy is just too messy, and the decisions of the elite might be resisted by the people.

As for Russia, it is once again an authoritarian corruptocracy, and China has never stopped being that. Israel is a small island of democracy in an ocean of social and political pathology. Latin America is making goo-goo eyes again at the false promises of the Left. In sum, a gang of thieves and cutthroats, soon to be armed with world-killing weapons, is assembling itself in on the street corners of many of the world’s neighborhoods.
