Breeding Enemies

Two headlines say a lot about the world America faces after four-and-a-half years of the Obama presidency: First, Libyan authorities have set free an al Qaeda operative tied to the murderous jihadist attack in Benghazi last year.

Second, in neighboring Egypt, an American involved in promoting democracy there was sentenced to two-years in prison for that activity, which the Muslim Brotherhood government considers a crime.

Both governments owe their very existence to the Obama administration’s help in bringing them to power.  Their behavior – and that of a lot of others around the globe – makes clear that it is now better to be an enemy of the United States than its friend.  We better plan on having a lot more foes, and a much more dangerous world for America and her vital interests.
