Obama’s bad foreign policy fails America

Obama’s bad foreign policy fails America

Dr. Jassim Taqui

Now, the whole world debates the marked split in America and its consequences on the world peace and stability. Obama is going from bad to the worst by pursuing a bad and controversial foreign policy.

Obama does not need chaos and anarchy to extend US influence and to act as a colonialist power. Peace serves him better if he thought it well, especially he hold a Nobel Prize for peace! Furthermore, American is the largest economy in the world. It can achieve anything under the sun. The world economic order will simply collapse if US economic system collapsed. Obama has simply to prove his peaceful credential to ensure sustained economic development.

Unfortunately, Obama preferred a “bad foreign policy” by siding with Iran against his Arab allies. Ironically, it was the United States, which categorized Iran as an “axis of evil.”

This policy has compelled the moderate Arab regimes to follow an unprecedented extremist policy against Washington since Obama acted as a godfather of the Iranian regime in its pursuit of regional hegemony through proxy wars in the Middle East.

Had Obama pursued a proactive and peaceful policy, we would not have witnessed the so-called “Arab Spring” and all its fallouts of anarchy followed by the emergence of ISIS. Presently, ISIS is number one enemy of the United States.

Here, I would like to bring to the fore how a good foreign policy can serve your national interests better than any other policy.

When Iraq decided to nationalize oil companies, it excluded the French companies simply because the French Government “morally” supported the just Palestinian cause. Iraq wanted to send a message to the Western governments, especially to the United States, that the Arabs would positively respond to any initiative aimed at supporting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination.

Probably, this is the reason behind the current debate about the future of democracy in the United States and the perception that it is doomed to die forever.
