When Jordan's King Abdullah II accepted an invitation to visit Iran after being invited by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, it was a sign that America's most loyal ally in the Middle East was moving away from stability, and towards the madness of radical Muhammadan Islamism. In its quest to dominate the world, Islam's efforts to bring the Muslim world together is proceeding as planned. Good news for the Jihad, bad news for the free world.
Iran has indicated that the visit between Jordan's king and Iran's leadership was motivated by a desire that the two nations work together so that the Islamic nations can unite.
King Abdullah is reported to have said that his country recognizes Iran's nuclear rights and supports its access to "peaceful" nuclear technology.
Jordan's Abdullah once warned the world about the ambitions of Iran. In 2004 Abdullah warned of a "Shiite crescent" extending from Iran to Iraq, through Syria to Lebanon.
His warning fell on deaf ears.
As predicted by King Abdullah, Lebanon and Syria have fallen under Iranian control. In addition to Iran's expansion into the nations south of her, Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, Gaza, Iran has been courting Oman, Yemen and Afghanistan to be either willing or unwilling members of the Iranian axis of influence.
With Iran's increasing influence, and the nation's move towards graduating into the club of nations with nuclear power, and a delivery system to go with it, the American Government is surprisingly not showing any concern.
The unwillingness of the Obama administration to take any action at all, combined with a WikiLeaks leaked cable from April 2009 written by US Ambassador to Jordan R. Stephen Beecroft, Jordan's frustration and concern over the Obama administration's incompetence in handling the Iranian threat has become an increasing concern in the region.
Jordanian Senator Zaid Rifai has been blunt about the danger of a nuclear Iran, saying that the U.S. needs to bomb Iran's nuclear installations, ". . . or live with an Iranian bomb. Sanctions, carrots, incentives won't matter."
The Obama administration's commitment to appeasing Iran is being seen by our allies in the region as being dangerous for the nations in the Middle East, and ultimately deadly for the entire world. Failure by the U.S. to act against Iran is literally encouraging the Arab states to try to reach an agreement with Iran, in the hopes of keeping the peace - thus further expanding Iran's curtain of terror over the Middle East.
Simply put, for fear of Iran, the countries will be defecting to the Iranian camp.
As the Obama administration stands idly by over Iran's increasing power in the Middle East, the Democrats are also remaining silent over Iran deepening its military alliance with Turkey and Venezuela (including a missile base with the capability of sending missiles capable of reaching American cities) while escalating its proxy war against the U.S. and its allies in Afghanistan.
Iran's aggression is being viewed as a diplomatic issue, rather than a reason to put our military technology into action with precision bombing. Obama is literally turning his back on our Arab allies, has been harassing Israel, and is working to withdraw as many forces from the region (Iraq and Afganistan) as he can in the near future. The nations in the Middle East that fear Iran feel abandoned, and the Obama administration's response to their fears are more talks, without any preconditions.
Jordan's dependency on Western powers has been cut by Obama, and Jordan's last resort is either to depend on Israel, or reach out to Iran in the hopes of making peace with the radical Islamic nation.
Iran recognizes America's actions of appeasement as weakness, and this will encourage Iran to act in a bolder manner - thereby placing the world in greater danger.
Iran's boldness will result in many deaths, and the blood will be on the Obama administration's hands.
Islam is not willing to negotiate. Islam is patient, taking action when their perceived enemy acts in a weak manner, and backs down when their enemy acts in a manner of strength. Meanwhile, Israel is the stabilizing factor in the Middle East. If we continue to abandon our Arab allies, and finish off by turning our back on Israel, the region will, for lack of a better word, explode.
