Peace Prize in our time...
Reading about Iran's approval of 10 new uranium enrichment plants this morning made me wonder just how long Obama's fantasy world can be maintained, not that the question hasn't occurred before. But in the course of mulling that over, it struck me that Obama may not be merely the combination of the worst traits of Nixon and Carter I once thought him to be. He may also be the reincarnation of Neville Chamberlain, and that may be a strangely positive thing. It can be argued that what ultimately brought Churchill out of the wilderness to lead a nation and a world to victory against fascism was the arch incompetence and sheer, willful, refusal to face reality of the world's most credulous negotiator. Chamberlain was noted for his extensive efforts at press management, and his overriding desire to be remembered as a domestic reformer, untroubled by foreign entanglements. Sound familiar?
