It looks like the end of the line for the former head of the United Nations Human Rights Council.  Make no mistake about it though, while Qaddafi’s placement on the UNHRC was more of a statement about the UN and what it has become, he will always be remembered as the clinically insane exporter of state sponsored terrorism that he truly was.  The video of President Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy dancing like an idiot with his Libyan BFF’s will always be a memory which comes to mind when I think of liberal foreign policy agendas.  Qaddafi is one evil dude, make no mistake about it.  The only surviving PLO terrorist who perpetrated the 1972 kidnapping of the Israeli athletes found a welcome home in Libya, and is treated as a national hero there.  The Lockerbie bomber is there, after the easily fooled Scottish released him on the idiotic notion that he was terminally ill.  (Apparently there are no rules against the Scottish Medical Practitioners working in a drunken stupor.)  He actively attempted to acquire nuclear weapons, and promised to use them for the express purpose of destroying Israel.  he sponsored terrorist acts against the United States tirelessly, and indeed used his oil money almost exclusively for the purpose of arming some of the world’s most lethal thugs.  By and large, he needed to go.  The only problem of course is what did we spend our, as we just learned not limitless, tax dollars on to replace him.

There are many people who are perpetually under the delusion that if one evil dictator is replaced, that will mean an automatic improvement in the world.  While in many circumstances this may be true, it is not always true.  In the case of Libya, it is definitely not true.  We have replaced Qaddafi with the Muslim Brotherhood.  Just to get us all on the same page, the Muslim Brotherhood is a group made up of smaller constituent groups with one singular purpose.  That purpose is to establish a global caliphate in the word which submits all remaining life on Earth to Sharia Law, and Islamic worship.  One of the Muslim Brotherhood’s constituent groups, Al Qaeda, flew jets into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and into a field in Pennsylvania in September of 2001.  Another of the Brotherhood’s constituent groups, CAIR, has infected our nation’s legal system by filing junk law suits against anyone who exercised their First Amendment rights by noticing out loud any ties between Islamic terrorism and Islam itself.  Another of it’s constituent groups, Hamas, has taken Billions of Dollars from the U.N. in the form of Unicef donations and used those funds to launch an endless barrage of rockets and mortars against Israeli school children.  The Holy Land Foundation was also one of theirs, as were unindicted co-conspirators  ISNA, MSA, and of course CAIR.  The Brotherhood, far from a normal political party, as we have been assured by the, either clueless or purposefully dishonest, Obama Administration, has far more nefarious purposes and goals in mind for mankind.  In short, for better or worse, we have replaced an evil thug with something far worse, and far more evil.

I am not suggesting that we shed tears for Moamar Qaddafi.  I am not sorry to see him go.  I believe however that it was no where near our business, nor anywhere near our best interests, to oust him in favor of whom we backed.  When we stood as a country 10 years ago and pledged that we would never forget, did any of us believe then that we would be fighting along side those who attacked us on that day?  In your wildest nightmares, would you have believed that day would come within the same decade?  What has happened in the Middle East over the past year is a direct result of the most hideous aspects of the liberal foreign policy agenda run amok.  What has been labeled the, “Arab Spring,” is an unmitigated disaster which will make Iran of 1978 seem like the good ole days we should be hearkening back to.  From 1977 through 1981, American foreign policy was highlighted by our President traveling the globe apologizing for American strength, spouting useless platitudes, and using moral equivalence as a compass to determine our responses to anything.  The result was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, political assassinations in Egypt and Jordan, and of course the replacement of the Shah of Iran with his greatly improved replacements, the thuggish genocidal leaders who run the show today.  Today, we have a President who is following the exact same foreign policy agenda as Jimmy Carter, and shockingly, the results have been the same.  The only difference is that this year, the results have been somewhat magnified.  the problems born in Iran in 1978 are still causing us grief today, 33 years later.  Just think of what the implications will be 33 years from now, with an even more thuggish, and even more genocidal group of  rulers in charge in  Egypt, Bahrain, Tunisia, Libya, and where ever else Obama decides to allow to slip into oblivion next.  We may not be able to afford the incompetence of Barack Obama for 4 more months, let alone 4 more years.
