Weak World Leaders Are to Blame for Rampant Islamic Terrorism

Populations of the Western nations who can now see the weak faces of their leaders without the masks-- the terrorists can clearly see them too.

Friday’s horrific terrorist attack in Paris that killed 129 civilians, wounding 352 , 80 of them critically, proves in the most nightmarish way possible that the 40 world leaders who led the ‘Je suis Charlie Hebdo’ rally last January were merely playing to the cameras and crowds.

Forty world leaders—including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, France’s Prime Minister François Hollande and Attorney General Eric Holder representing the United States, all in the front lines, linked arms with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

NO!

Leaders aren’t weak - they are stupid. They and all of their advisors are trying to live and fight in a world that was born at the Peace of Westphalia over 300 years ago. This worldwide (aka European wide) series of peace treaties established the nation-state as the central piece in the existing political structure. Most of what followed during the next 300 years was based on that concept.

Now in the 21st Century we have a totally different world.
The nation-state is no longer the critical central piece in world wide financial affairs. The nation state has to deal with supra-national political bodies (aka the U.N.) as well as NGOs. The nation state has to act and react to unfolding crises in a matter of minutes instead of weeks or months.

These are only the macro crises facing world leaders. The list of micro crises is longer. And lets not even talk about current events.

Taken all together our political leaders will always be weeks, if not months, behind current events because they have no idea as to what the 21st century looks like.

Bush ‘41 had it right in the 1990s when he talked about a “New World Order”.
