Christopher Stevens Feeds the Crocodile

“           Christopher Stevens Feeds the Crocodile Winston Churchill once said, “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last.” On September 11, Christopher Stevens, a career diplomat, became one of the first Americans in Libya to feed the crocodile of Ansar Al-Sharia and learned too late that while appeasers may hope to be eaten last, they are often eaten first. Christopher Stevens was a Middle Eastern diplomat who typified the new breed going from the University of Berkeley and the Peace Corps to desks in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Syria. He taught English to Moroccan children in the Peace Corps and helped Palestinian Arabs in the East Jerusalem Consulate, which has a firm policy of pretending that Israel does not exist. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said of Christopher Stevens that he “made other people’s hopes his own” and that may serve as a fitting eulogy both for Stevens and for the disastrous foreign policy of making “other people’s hopes” our own that brought on the Arab Spring. Stevens, like Clinton and Obama, made the hopes of Islamists his own and they repaid him for it, just as Afghans repaid America for supporting them against the Soviet Union, as Lebanon and Somalia repaid America’s peacekeeping efforts by killing American troops and on down the litany of gratitude in bombs and bullets that have come America’s way from the Muslim world. [Christopher Stevens Feeds the Crocodile] I think we can all agree on this.  There is not one—NONE— Obama appointee to any office who would not be instantly terminated, if not arrested,  by Ronald Reagan on his first day in office.  They are at best pasty-faced idealists; at worst, anti-American Obamunists.  That said, Reagan would agree that nobody can attack them on foreign soil without getting a  Gaddafi comeuppance, i.e., a visit from American fighter bombers.   That even includes Hillary, who, if she is to be assaulted (and pray that never happens of course), it has to be at the hands of someone in, say, Omaha.  How has this  administration responded?  Harassed the dim-witted a-hole who produced a truly lousy movie, which trailer was maybe seen by 20 people, and  which supposedly enraged the always enraged lunatic Muslum crowd. To them Obama apologized.   ”
