President Reagan summed things up best when he explained:We don’t mistrust one another because we’re armed. We’re armed because we mistrust one another.
That very concept explains the difference in thinking between a juvenile junior high schooler and a wise man.There is a fundamental difference in philosophy between these two concepts.
The Obama Doctrine is premised on the idea that countries mistrust one another because they are armed.Disregarding human nature and historical fact, we can follow this immature, unintelligent dogma.Obama Doctrine seeks American nuclear disarmament so other nations will trust us.Obamians believe US disarmament will cause all other nations to trust us.With trust these nations will also disarm.Unfortunately, here is where thought behind Obama Doctrine ended but average 6th graders and up continued thinking.Since there are multiple nations, trust for the US may not transfer to Pakistan.Since Pakistan has not disarmed, India will remain armed out of mistrust toward Pakistan and Iran will continue to arm itself out of mistrust toward both.The mistrust grows and an arms race rages.A 7th grader may be so bold to think a country may claim to disarm but believe there is no reason to trust they will disarm.Learned people understand trust is not derived from a lack of arms.
Countries are not born with arms.Actions instill trust and mistrust.Actions speak louder than words.Trust must be earned.Do you buy a colt 45 because your neighbor owns a 9 millimeter gun?Of course not.Does the US mistrust the UK because they have a standing army?Quite the contrary.The US and the UK are staunch allies despite the fact they are both armed.We do not mistrust one another because we are armed.If I trust someone, I will not care if they are armed.There are many reasons to trust or mistrust.There are many different reasons people are armed.Tyrants and dictators build armies to conquer and enslave.Americans stand on centuries of honorable history.From the foundation of our nation Americans have never used military might for conquest.Time and time again American armies defeated tyrants, liberating the enslaved.Not once has America expanded her borders through military campaign.Generation upon generation shed blood and gave life to maintain Americans’ freedom or liberate an unknown face in a foreign land.
History’s lessons and human nature quickly disregards Obama Doctrine on foreign policy atop the devastated American economy toppled from the Obama domestic policies resulting in high unemployment, snowballing housing market bubbles, unprecedented government spending as tax revenues drop and as inflation looms.As domestic Obama Doctrine’s defiance of history, logic and fact resulted in ruinous economic destruction, so too shall Obama Doctrine on foreign policy topple America’s national defense.
Obama Doctrine is incompetence demonstrated.Nuclear disarmament is not a foreign policy.Applied appropriately arms reduction can be one piece of a successful foreign policy.President Reagan outlined a basic 5 point plan for peace that included military balance, economic stability, regional stability, arms reduction and dialogue.The Obama Doctrine lacks all key elements and instead subscribes to unilateral American disarmament.Peace brought on by American disarmament will come only through American surrender to armed enemies.The former Soviet Union sought peace through American surrender.Communist peace would have come through blood, oppression and enslavement.
Americans seek peace through strength.For generations this policy has successfully defended and restored liberty across the globe countless times.The absence of weapons will not deliver peace, certainly not at the cost humanity can afford.America cannot afford Obama Doctrine.Liberty cannot afford Obama Doctrine.Humanity should not be forced to pay the costs of Obama Doctrine.
