“From Benghazi to Bahrain, Mr Obama is proving to be a brutal disappointment.” That is the concluding sentence of today’s editorial in the London Times. There it is — the editorial is reflecting a sea-change in public opinion. And it’s not just the persecuted inhabitants of contested Arab cities who feel this disappointment, but also people all over the world who not so long ago decided that Mr. Obama was hope personified.
My friends in Pakistan have never been so enraged at the United States. Obama has ushered in a 20 fold increase in drone attacks in Pakistan. And if you've ever seen a concrete house pancake with the dozen men, women and children who were inside screaming as they are crushed to death (as I did, in Jakarta) you can understand why their hate is rising.
Incompetent and brutally stupid. What a disaster for our nation.
