By removing America as a referee, Obama will provoke more violence

Spengler, aka David Goldman, is a highly respected voice in the right blogosphere. His latest Asia Times Online column shows why, as it benefits any who read it. His concluding paragraph:

Obama's continuing obsession with America's supposed misdeeds - deplorable but necessary actions in time of war - is consistent with his determination to erode America's influence in the most troubled parts of the world. By removing America as a referee, he will provoke more violence than the United States ever did. We are entering a very, very dangerous period as a result.
