First, there was North Korea, testing Ballistic Missiles, detonating Nuclear Bombs and forcing U.S. war ships to scurry and intercept the possible sell of Arms and Nuclear Material to rouges around the world.

“If the U.S. imperialists start another war,
the army and people of Korea will …
wipe out the aggressors on the globe
once and for all,”
reported the North Korean Central News Agency.
Then there was Iran, blatantly rigging their elections and then killing those who attempted protest the violations of their given rights of a fair and honest election, if you can call the way their candidates are chosen, fair and honest. It’s all relative I suppose. Not to mention that their appears to be a rift between Obama and Iranian President Ahmadinejad, with the Iranian President now making the same types of threats toward our America, he has continually made concerning Israel.

"You should know that if you continue,
the response of the Iranian nation will be strong,"
Ahmadinejad said in a speech to members of Iran's judiciary,
which is directly controlled by the ruling clerics.
"The response of the Iranian nation will be crushing.
The response will cause remorse."
Now, in our own hemisphere, a corrupt Honduras President, Manuel Zelaya, attempts to buck the authority of their Supreme Courts and execute a Referendum to illegally change their Constitution, and is arrested and exiled by the Honduran military for his attempt to run for an additional term as President beyond the 4 year term their Constitution allows. Zelaya is supposedly hiding in Costa Rica where Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is threatening military action against the military, powers-that-be, in Honduras, to aid his leftist ally, Zelaya.
The only statement concerning this usurpation of the Honduras Constitution is from Obama, who stated he was…
"deeply concerned"
and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said
Zelaya's arrest should be condemned.
"I call on all political and social actors
in Honduras to respect democratic norms,
the rule of law
and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter,"
Obama's statement read.
A President who leads a nation where the Constitution is suppose to speaks for the people, appears to consider Honduras’s Constitution as valuable as his own. In spite of what the Honduras Constitution states, in spite of the finding in its Supreme Courts interpretation that no President should serve more than 4 years, is the law and should remain the law, our President appears to feel that, one man, should have the right to rewrite a document meant to be the voice of the people…
In light of America’s own Constitutional disregard of late, I am not surprised at his statement concerning the Honduras Presidential problem.
America has been a strong stabilizing force throughout the world for a great many years, the world has depended on our John Wayne attitude, even as they were so quick to criticize it. Every President is tested in one fashion or another, however, when American Presidents shows a glimpse of weakness, not so much in there policies, but in there inner self, the hunt is on. It is like a hungry wolf pack that smells fresh blood, when the scent of blood is in the air they track it, position it and then kill it. America has become prey to tyrants.
Obama promised the world would like us again…
But Obama promised a lot of things, none of which have come to pass. He has lied to the American people at every turn…
I am not surprised the world around us, the good and the bad, are feeling that the strong stabilizing weight of America has been lifted. It has lifted off the backs of rogues and from the sides of allies.
The gates of chaos have been opened…
…the monsters are free again, to roam the countryside.
