Gaffney Jr.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly declared that \u201ca world without America is not only desirable, it is achievable.\u201d While that sentiment won\u2019t be embraced in President Obama\u2019s inaugural address next week, all other things being equal, it seems likely to be the practical effect of his second term.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Of course, Iran\u2019s regime seeks a world literally without America. More to the point, Ahmadinejad and the mullahs in Tehran are working tirelessly to secure the means by which to accomplish that goal. Specifically, they have or are developing the ability to engage in devastating electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks, biological warfare and other asymmetric terrorist strikes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For his part, Barack Obama seems to have in mind bringing about a world without America in a geo-strategic sense. As Mark Steyn notes in a characteristically brilliant essay in Jewish World review (JWR), that would be \u201cObamacare\u2019s other shoe.\u201d It would amount to a \u201cfundamental transformation\u201d of America\u2019s place in the world, evidently intended to be the President\u2019s second-act counterpart to the socialist transformation of this country that dominated his first term.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>That agenda is strongly evident in Mr. Obama\u2019s choices for key national security cabinet positions: John Kerry at the State Department, Chuck Hagel at Defense and John Brennan at the CIA. The three are, like the President, imbued with a post-American, post-sovereignty, post-constitutional, transnationalist outlook. In his administration, it would appear that their mission would be, as the American Enterprise Institute\u2019s Danielle Pletka puts it, to manage the United States\u2019 decline.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven!
