When Alfred E. Neuman said "What me worry?" on the cover of Mad magazine, it was funny. But this message was not nearly as funny coming from President Barack Obama and his National Security Advisor, Susan Rice.
In a musical comedy, it would be hilarious to have the president send out his "happy talk" message by someone whose credibility was already thoroughly discredited by her serial lies on television about the Benghazi terrorist attack in 2012.
Unfortunately — indeed, tragically — the world today is about as far from a musical comedy as you can get, with terrorists rampaging across the Middle East, leaving a trail of unspeakable atrocities in their wake, and with Iran moving closer to producing a nuclear bomb, with an intercontinental missile on the horizon.
We will be lucky to get through the remainder of President Obama's term in office without a major catastrophe, from which we may or may not recover.
Iran has announced repeatedly that it plans to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. But you don't need an intercontinental missile to reach Israel from Iran. Teheran is less than a thousand miles from Jerusalem. As was said long ago, "Send not to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee."
It was painfully ironic to hear Ms. Rice tell us that the danger we face today is not as serious as the dangers we faced in World War II.
Anyone who has actually studied the period that led up to World War II knows that the Western democracies followed feckless policies remarkably similar to those that we are following today. And anyone who studies that war itself knows that the West came dangerously close to losing it before finally getting their act together and turning things around.

Excellent and very serious essay (column) by Dr. Sowell.
I’ll wager this title was NOT his.
I agree, FRiend.
” We will be lucky to get through the remainder of President Obama’s term in office without a major catastrophe, from which we may or may not recover. “
Sowell has been working up to this, and he finally said it.
He is also correct.
Well said, I believe he’s correct also.
Yep and he’s right!
There is always a price to be paid for ignorance and stupidity. The country is about to start paying for its folly in terms of dealing with the mess that Obama has created and the “legacy” of destruction that he will leave behind in his wake.
The real costs of electing Obama are only now beginning to be realized. Election have consequences as they say.
I think we would recover from our enemies darts. However, Im pretty sure we’d not recover from the ‘Im from the govt and here to help’ types that insist on cleaning up their mess blamed on someone(s) else.
If not for some of Hitler's megalomania induced strategic blunders the war could have turned out much differently.
Absolutely...It’s a good thing for the allies Hitler didn’t let his more than capable generals run the war.
once they get hands on a nuke it is all over, expect a explosion in any Capitol in Europe or probably NY here.
” We will be lucky to get through the remainder of President Obama’s term in office without a major catastrophe, from which we may or may not recover.”
I remember (and quite nervously) Sowell wrote that Obama’s term would be “catastrophic” just before or right after he was elected in 2008.
Yes he did. But “catastrophic” is not as bad as “may not survive”
Obama seems quite content to lead us into a Dark Ages that will last a thousand years.
Yep. FDR had plenty of faults, but at least he wasn't a damnable Nazi.
