Weak Leaders Historically Threat to Peace

[From article]
"The threats to Western freedom then were Soviet tanks and barbed wire. Today, it’s growing anarchy in the streets and economic meltdown, harbingers of a new Dark Age for Europe. America isn’t immune from the same thing.
We need a president who is ready and willing to confront those threats, whether here or over there, and to stand up for liberty and civilized values everywhere. Instead, we get empty words -- and a blank wall of indifference."
