I think the follow-up is the key part here. If Obama seizes this moment & uses it as a reason to draw down American foreign commitments & slash our ridiculously corrupt and unsustainable military-industrial complex then he deserves praise. If not, then scorn.

Is it not obvious that among the primary objectives of this charade is to condition the public to accept that notion that the extrajudicial murder by the government is morally and legally permissible?

After you wrote the above comments, Ilana, similar to previous versions of this list of the crimes of totalitarianism, it seems strange to me that you usually deny the idea of conspiracies. Could it be that the New World Order totalitarian conspiracy is slowly accomplishing everthing that it intends, that many religious and political and military aspects of recent history has been an intentional act of destruction of EVERYTHING on all sides of the political and religious spectrum that opposes the New World Order totalitarian conspiracy, whether the destruction of American Christian Democracy or Islamic totalitarianism?

It is odd that some phantom who in the last 20 years was only seen by trusted fiends Zawahari, Puxatawney Phil, Ahab the Arab, and Ali Baba and produced occasional tapes to Al Jazeera and then gets murdered and disposed at by Secret Seals Groucho Harpo Chico and Zeppo can inspire so much blather.

Not only has this country changed, it has changed for the worse. We are more in danger from ourselves – both our lives and liberties from the bankrupt police state we are turning into.

Sunny, I doubt that the media manipulated mobs who show up waving USA USA whenever we assassinate an Osama or bomb Khadaffi’s granddaughter or tear down Saddam’s statue cares much for the foreign policy of Ron Paul, Ilana Mercer, Myron Pauli, Dennis Kuchinch and other “hate America pacifists”. The German people were gleefully Seig Heiling a psychotic mass murderer and only grew skeptical when Marshal Georgy Zhukov’s boys were raping their way from Minsk to Berlin and when Hap Arnold was dropping bombs over Hamburg and Dresden.

Remember how the “protest the TSA movement” fizzled out last November?? As Judge Napolitano put it, we are a nation of sheep. Bahhhhhh.

I have a question. Obama comes from a background that I’d call pacifist in nature. I recall he wrote an article in college against nuclear proliferation. My point being, he comes from a perspective that is very college undergrad, youthful Kumbaya, non-interventionist. Later he made his mark against Hillary Clinton as being against “dumb” wars; and he threw a bone to middle American voters by saying he wasn’t “against all wars”.

Why does he feel the need to continue so much of WBush’s foreign policy approach (including enhanced interrogation, GITMO, a prolonged staged withdrawal, drone attacks, etc). It’s against what I suspect his ideology is, so whom is he pandering to? Is it a simple matter of trying to please moderate, centrist, pro-war voters? The guy slammed Obamacare down everyone’s throat even as he realized how unpopular it was. The guy won a Nobel Peace Prize. Not even Krauthammer and his ilk could be too surprised if Obama withdrew troops from Afghanistan, closed down Gitmo, and adopted a Ron Paul approach to foreign policy. I think more Americans support Paul’s foreign policy ideas than Obamacare.
