The American Revival of the Persian Empire

American Thinker:

Historians will mark the United Nations agreement to manage the disposal of chemical weapons in Syria as the end of the proxy wars the United States has waged since the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran to prevent the revival of a powerful Persian Empire. President Obama and Iranian President Rouhani have made their symbolic phone call, paving the way for the U.S., China, Russia, Britain and France, and Germany to meet directly with Iran in Geneva on October 15th to begin a protracted process that will lead to the international normalization of economic relationships with Iran. With the blowback of chaos and terrorism from the Obama Administration-sponsored Arab Spring dooming the continuing reliance on availability of oil from Arab states, doing business authoritarian Iran is increasingly attractive.

One of the first actions of Barack Obama when he moved into the White House in January of 2009 was to send back the bust of Winston Churchill that was loaned from the British government's art collection to the United States as a sign of solidarity after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Obama, whose Muslim grandfather was tortured by the British while Churchill was prime minister, sought to visibly communicate his reorienting of American foreign policy away from supporting autocratic dictators and toward championing a Muslim liberation theology across the Africa and the Middle East.

The booting of Churchill was followed on June 4, 2009 with Obama's first international speech at Cairo University, where he apologized for West's "colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims." The president stated that the Quran called the Arab world to revolt, "We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written."
