Diplomatic Power of Barrack Obama

In his Harvard Law School Class, "How to talk to your enemy 404" (It was an upper class elective), Barrack Obama must have learned how to negotiate with Russian KGB agent Vladimir Putin.

I am thankful for Barrack Obama and his willingness to talk to our enemies because we definitely need change in this world. I wonder what type of diplomacy President Barrack would have conducted in order to prevent Russia from invading one of our allies (and former prisoner of the Iron Curtain), the Republic of Georgia.

I would bet Barrack first would have apologized. That is the common approach by people who don't believe in the power of freedom of individuals and the independence of nations who must live in close proximity to a powerful former Superpower, thirsty for world relevance.

Now, some may say I am being flippant. Let us not forget the KGB is alive and well. The Russians have little interest in having pro Western governments on their border. Witness the mysterious poisoning of the current President of the Ukraine, who dared take a pro-Democratic stand against Russia in 2006. Further evidence of Russian influence over pro Western governments is Russian financial and military support of Iranian madman Ahmadinejad. It has been discovered that Russia has recently provided valuable nuclear technology to Iran.

On a crash course with Israeli interests (and Western interests), Iranian nuclear programs create a significant risk to the entire Middle East. Israel has promised military action in order to prevent Iran from developing nuclear centrifuges, allowing for the enrichment of weapons grade uranium. This process is the last step in developing a full fledged nuclear bomb. The only thing left is having a delivery and guidance system capable of delivering the bomb to Israel. It is thought that Iran has the capability to reach Israel at the present time.

Iran has been an active participant in the extermination of Israel as they were the key supporters of Hamas, an organization in Palestine dedicated to "driving the Jews out of into the sea". In 2006, Hamas led an offensive against Israel which led to an Israeli offensive in Palestine. The conflict ended poorly and Hamas remains a sizable threat to this day. Israel is currently debating bombing Iranian nuclear manufacturing sites.

I can honestly say I don't know the answers to the problems presented in the Middle East, but I know the enemies of the West have become very wealthy since 2001 because of the quintupling of the price of oil. This has emboldened these tyrannical dictators, Putin included, to seize control and threaten force.

How our American president deals with these issues is a matter of life and death to our way of life.

I just hope Barrack Obama was listening well in his "negotiating with terrorists" class at Harvard.
