There are so many situations going on in the world at the moment that are just at the point of boiling over. The most dangerous one in my opinion is Iran's nuclear situation. For a number of years now Iran has been enriching nuclear fuel for "peaceful" purposes such as providing electricity to it's people. The problem with this situation is that the fuel that is used in nuclear reactors can be further refined to create high grade radioactive bomb materials. This, coupled with a violent regime led by an insane Ahmadinejad, creates an incredibly dangerous situation in the Mideast.
It is my opinion that Israel will do anything to ensure it's survival even if that means attacking Iran. Israel simply will not allow Tehran to develop a nuclear weapon. Ahmadinajad has stated repeatedly that he feels Israel should be obliterated, taken off the map, and denies the Holocaust. I am sure that Israel takes these statements very seriously while the rest of the world sits and hopes some sort of U.N. diplomacy will work. The U.N. is increasingly becoming a body of useless rhetoric who's bargaining power has been greatly diminished in my eyes inaction is proving to be a very serious problem.
Iran's economy is in shambles, it's people divided, and in my opinion the sheiks lose their grip on that society more each day. I agree with Glenn Beck when he says that it is possible that an Israeli attack is exactly what Iran wants. A catalyst to unify the country against a historical villain.
It is a dangerous situation not only for Iran and Israel but also for the whole world. It is a situation that Obama will have to deal with, a situation that has the future of our world at stake. He will have to walk a very thin line when this day comes. How will he handle the situation without upsetting Russia, Tehran's most powerful ally? How does he denounce Israel for their actions without upsetting a historically liberal base here in the U.S? How does he make sure the situation does not escalate and disrupt vital Mideast trade on oil or turn into a World War?
It is a very difficult situation the President will be in and frankly I will not envy him at all on that day. I hope he has the strength to "stand up" to the real situation that is brewing and make the best decision for the U.S. and the world.

Is this REAL?
I hope that in 4 years we look back at Obama's administration and say "Thank God it's over". Like the liberals with Bush, Obama has provided so much foder for debate yet it has been completely overlooked.
1) It took Obama about a week to say anything with any kind of substance about the unrest in Iran. Let me remind you that the current regime is one that has threatened to "annihilate" Israel, denies the Holocaust ever took place, is refining nuclear fuel, finances terrorists from other countries who go into Iraq to kill our soldiers, supports and finances Hezbollah, kills their own protesters, and has kidnapped British diplomats.
2) It took Obama one day to harshly condemn the military removal of a socialist in Honduras. A man that has been linked to Chavez, Castro, and Ortega. Furthermore, the U.S. backed the OAS initiative to restore Zelaya to power.
3) Out of the 749 Billion dollars approved for the stimulus to get our country back on track (a bad idea in the first place) only about 53 Billion dollars have made it to the hands of Americans in the forms of loans, etc. By the way, rumors are that the Obama administration has started to talk about a second stimulus... seriously?
4) The Democratic House just passed an estimated 2 Trillion dollar Energy tax in the form of a Cap and Trade initiative. Did you know about this? If you do I bet the only thing you know is that Obama came out and said this will make our country more green and create jobs. What that means to you and me? If you live in Florida and you own a home, chances are your electric bill will go up about 25% by 2012. That's just Florida's electric; you have to include Gasoline, Coal, Heating Oil, and any other "dirty" energy that will be taxed. Let's hope the Senate has more sense.
5) A 4th of July "Tea Party" protest was planned in Atlanta to draw light to the heavy taxation of Americans. All of the permits were pulled and everything was approved. About 1 week ago the organizers got a notice from the property managers that they did not allow any political demonstrations on their property. It turns out the mall is owned by Simon whom happens to be one of the largest contributors to the Obama campaign.
Remember my friends that only 1 in 8 mainstream media is conservative. While I am not advocating radical conservatism by any means I do believe that it should be at least balanced. One of my soldier friends made a point on his Facebook status. Why is Michael Jackson's death (while culturally important) the headline for 5 days when there is so many more important things going on in the world?
