BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS By Ivan Rioufol
Credible, Barack Hussein Obama? Its historical approximations, which are Islam, the religion of his father, as a source of Europe Lights and inventions such as printing, cast doubt of the seriousness of its analysis. Especially since he also says: "The United States is one of the largest Muslim country in the world." His recent promotion of the Islamic veil as a symbol of female submission, shocked defenders of secularism. The icon, a bit distant during his stay in Paris does not deserve the unanimous praise. Obamania that lasts, especially within the French intelligentsia, obscures the basic critical thinking. Arguing that the president of the United States began to distance itself from its predecessor, any policy is praised by anti-Bushites yesterday. Even his glances to the Islamists and their extended hands with despots are considered exemplary of intelligence by those who believe that the West must force himself to humility. Have they forgotten, these heirs of Chamberlain, that totalitarianism despise the weak?
The coup of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran, which has just been re-elected handily in defrauding the polls, unveiled if need oppression of the Islamo-fascist regime, which built its bomb nuclear threat and Israel. The irrationality of its leaders, who expect the Apocalypse as an issue, makes more random any attempt at appeasement. It is therefore dismaying to observe the silence of Obama before this tyranny, which he dare not even name it for what it is.
Its policy of the outstretched hand is already a failure because it prevents to choose, by prudence, between the repression of the Illuminati and the aspiration of a people's sovereignty. As the crowd dared Iran, on Monday, defying the prohibitions and balls (seven deaths in Tehran), the president of the largest democracy refrains from taking sides, under the encouragement of his devotees. At least Obama does not get its act together, it is permissible to see cowardice in this attitude.
Moreover, more generally, the "soft power" made by Obama, in reply to lent warmongering neoconservatives and Bush, apparently does not shine by its effectiveness. Iran not only shines the most retrograde, threatening human rights and peace in the world, but North Korea is also stepping up its provocations in the nuclear arms race. Bush scored two regimes then in the "axis of evil". The facts show he was right.
Sarkozy saves honor
Barack H. Obama explains his restraint, stressing the little difference between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mir Hossein Moussavi, who claims the election. But this relativism is cynical. Although the two men are from the same Islamic totalitarianism, which hates the U.S.. However, the challenge of fraud is also the policy of Ahmadinejad. That is a fight for democracy that encourages Iranians to protest to demand recognition of their votes. Tuesday, they were in the streets despite calls for calm Moussavi, who is thus far only a pretext. Many demonstrators were in sight of "fascist theocracy," as he designates. Leave them without any support? It was France
who saved the honor. Nicolas Sarkozy denounced on Tuesday, "the magnitude of the fraud, proportional to the violent reaction." On Wednesday, he drove home the point: "The idea of an opposition in Iran is an interesting perspective." Should that democracies do low profile on the pretext of not arouse the wrath of dictators? Number of obamaniaques think, without alarm of the spirit of capitulation that wins. While it is fashionable to admit to the West "a certain arrogance" (Dominique de Villepin, City of Men, Plon). Yet it is he who remains the reference for some of these young people angry who aspire to his lifestyle.
It is paradoxical to observe that taste for flagellation, common to European elites ready to note the decline of the West, while their civilization is still an ideal addition to the point of putting defeated Hezbollah during the recent Lebanese elections. When writing Villepin, speaking of secularism, it is "the foundation of the City of Men", does he not see that the threat of Europe by inviting at the same time, to "gather" as the Turkey and North Africa, where it is so poorly respected?
Courageous
Hear this appeal also thinking consistent with immigration to pay future pensions illustrates the persistent indifference of the state of society faces here and there, beyond the reach of process "cons-colonialism" (Renaud Camus ) (1). But eyes open. Mayor (PC) of Venissieux, Andre Gerin, supported this week by some sixty members, requires a national debate on the burqa (veil) which multiplies. Manuel Valls (PS) would like to add to his city (Evry) "some whites, some White, some Blancos" in the name of the fight against the ethnic ghettos. Francois Cope (UMP) dream him "a great debate on French identity," to avoid "that the nation continues to crack in silence." Policies would they brave?
