Arab Spring Turns Against US?

Are the liberals really surprised?  Don't they know that the attack and murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Libya is just the beginning? The last time a US Ambassador died at the hands of terrorists was in 1979 when Jimmy Carter was President and there are a lot of similarities between Jimmy Carter's Presidency and Obama's Presidency.  Both men systematically moved to weaken our military strength, slashing military spending among other things.  Both men insisted that all foreign relations issues could be solved through peaceful negotiations.  Peaceful negotiations do not work when dealing with Islamic extremist, but these two Presidents refuse to face this truth.  Both Presidents supported terrorist regimes that turned more violent and oppressive than the governments they overthrew.  I think the biggest difference between Carter and Obama lies with their motivation.  Carter was just naive.  Obama  purposefully plans to level the playing field among the nations so the USA will not be superior to third world countries.  When the USA shows weakness, our enemies respond.  Peace can only be achieved and maintained through strength.  With a President like Obama, our strength will be diminished one step at a time.
