President Obama, speaking for his first time at the United Nations World Summit, called for all the nations of the world to come together to fix the problems of our time: eco-preservation, global warming, the economy, and to work for a post-atomic age. He hopes that America can lead the world to peace without existence of nuclear weapons. Speaking specifically of North Korea and Iran, Obama said they “must be held accountable” for their disregard of UN policies and agreements in building nuclear weapons but includes that other nations cannot have weapons either.
Now, this sounds good, but there is a major problem with President Obama and others who hope for a post-atomic age. They are not understanding or considering normal human nature. If there are no consequences for bad actions or no authority with the power to stop someone from doing something, they will do it.
Do we wish there could just be world peace? Of course. But we have to realize that it will never happen. There are too many people with different beliefs and different values. Unfortunately, some nations’ ends are to rid the world of the infidels.
So what should America’s response be? Former Speaker, Newt Gingrich, once said that just because we don’t want to war doesn’t mean that others don’t want to war with us. We have to have the means and the willingness to fight.
Peace through strength. President Reagan faced a similar bully when he was in office, and the fear of the seemingly imminent Cold War had been feared for years before.
Notice, President Reagan was one of the most courageous Presidents who talked tough to Russia, yet he won the war without one bomb.
He understood that trying to appease an enemy will not help us; it is wimpy and un-American. So he stood up to the Soviets. He told them no. And he accomplished peace through strength.
America needs to stop asking terrorists to stop killing people, pretty please?
Too bad Joe Wilson isn’t in the audience for Iran’s President Ahmadinejad’s speech.
