President Obama has a problem making distinctions. This was made clear when he sided with nutty Harvard professor Henry Louise Gates against police officers just doing their job. His moral blindness extends to dictatorships as well. He lowers the stature of the Unites States by insisting we treat ruthless regimes with “mutual respect.” To that end, Obama ordered the removal of an electronic billboard in Havana, Cuba that displayed pro-democracy messages and updates on the lifestyles of Cuba’s rich and famous leaders. It also gave uncensored news from around the world. The five-foot high billboard stretched across 25 windows on the 5th floor of the U.S. Interests Section at the Swiss Embassy.
Cuba’s communist regime erected their own billboard and installed 100-foot high black banners to hide the American billboard and posted guards to prevent Cuban citizens from peeking through gaps in the black banners.
U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said, “These dueling billboards, if you will, (were} not serving the interests of promoting a more productive relationship.” He did not elaborate on what exactly that productive relationship was. It’s worth noting that at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Fidel Castro demanded that his Soviet masters launch their Cuban-based short-range nuclear missiles at the United States; Khrushchev, however, was less eager to trigger World War III than Cuba’s cigar-smoking dictator. It appears that the greater the desire of deranged regimes to destroy the United States, the greater the drive of this administration to court them - like a confused high school girl, Obama is uncontrollably attracted to the “bad boy.”
Iran’s bad boy clerics wish us dead as well. Like Cuba in the early 1960s, soon they will possess nuclear weapons as well; but unlike Castro, they’ll have no one to pull them back from the brink if Allah inspires them to launch. Obama’s attraction to rouge regimes is a fundamental aspect of the Left’s self-destructive impulse.
