    Default Is it a game changer?

    Is Obama's self humiliation at the UN a turning point as British journalist and many others are saying? How much longer can the sherade go on when America is clearly occupied territory.

    In the new Middle East, amid the Arab Awakening and the revolt of free peoples for dignity and freedom, this UN vote – passed in the General Assembly, vetoed by America if it goes to the Security Council – constitutes a kind of hinge; not just a page turning, but the failure of empire. So locked into Israel has US foreign policy become, so fearful of Israel have almost all its Congressmen and Congresswomen become – to the extent of loving Israel more than America – that America will this week stand out not as the nation that produced Woodrow Wilson and his 14 principles of self-determination, not as the country which fought Nazism and Fascism and Japanese militarism, not as the beacon of freedom which, we are told, its Founding Fathers represented – but as a curmudgeonly, selfish, frightened state whose President, after promising a new affection for the Muslim world, is forced to support an occupying power against a people who only ask for statehood.

    You two can commiserate and gripe among yourselves against the president, thank you. But if anybody can swing their thoughts to to the greater good, more power to you. All I see is a Tea Party/Republican rant. Again.
