Obama Bent on Appeasing, Aligning with Islamists
As the Obama administration seeks to marginalize Al Qaeda, it will step up efforts to appease and align with any and all Islamists, except for Al Qaeda. The terrorist group that carried out the 9/11 attacks is outside the diplomatic pale.
But the Taliban, which harbored and aided Al Qaeda, is fair game for "engagement"--the term the administration uses, with relish, to cover its appeasement and alignment policies. "Tough, principled diplomacy," or, simply, "tough diplomacy" are other favorites.
The policy will fail, of course, as every attempt to exploit and manipulate right-wing political Islam has failed, dating to the Great Game of imperial rivalry between Britain and Czarist Russia. Time and again, the Islamist tiger has turned on those who have cynically and stupidly sought to ride it.
The threat to Israel is clear and well understood by its supporters and friends. The Jewish State is out of place and out of step--an uppity regional power in need of downgrading and physical shrinking, in the eyes of the Obama administration. Hence, the constant pressure on Israel to withdraw to indefensible borders--the lines that prevailed before Israel's stunning Six-Day War victory in June 1967.
The threat to the United States is also clear, but not so well understood. Appeasement of Islamism--a clerical fascist creed that aims to overthrow the power relations among nations for all time--will accelerate the islamist infiltration of the U.S. and pave the way for a terrorist onslaught on U.S. cities that could run the gamut from Mumbai-style, swarming attacks to mega-attacks involving nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.US Reporters Held Captive in North Korea Were Isolated From Each Other, Fed 'Rice and Rocks'

The two American hostages were in hell on earth--fearful of being sent to a death camp at any moment.
