All Leopards Have Spots
I’m constantly amused by the way we in the west are fooled by our leaders and politicians in general. For example:
It’s common parlance to say that than the Iranian leadership is mad – mad enough to start a war in fact. That’s the common wisdom. We hear about “mad mullahs” and fundamentalist regimes. And I agree, I am constantly concerned by regimes with fundamentalist religious foundations.
Trouble is, this type of name-calling by western politicians is supposed to assure us that while those mullahs are mad and untrustworthy – our own “dear leaders” are sane and trustworthy.
Well, I beg to differ. Previously I would have quickly said “look at George Bush and Tony Blair, and tell me if you really trust them?”.
Now I’m saying it about the hack called Obama. I cannot think of a more despicable type of politician – one who talks one way and consistently acts another. Obama is the equivalent of a smooth talking con-man. At least with Iran’s Ahmadinejad you know what you are getting and that he’s more likely to act on his words.
And if doing what you say and acting on what you believe is a measure of personal integrity – then ask yourself this difficult question: Would you trust Obama more than Ahmadinejad to put his rhetoric into practice and to do as he says?
Think about it.
