Rothkopf over at FP has chimed in with my recently made point that while the progressives in America are busy staring at navels to see if their new world order indeed abides there Russia and Iran have taken steps to guarantee that the world as it is now is about to get a whole lot more dangerous - as he puts it, Russia, with its security council veto, has just sanctioned, on the eve of negotiations to forestall such a thing, the largest state sponsor of terrorism becoming a nuclear power. So far Obama's plan to tap into the sweetness and light of his story and broker a new age of peace and understanding amongst the peoples of the world who have for too long toiled in darkness and despair wondering, where O Lord, where is the hope, the change you promised? - so far that plan is working out about as well as any reasonable person would have expected.
