Lech Walesa, a champion of freedom in the fight against Soviet Communism, knows how much freedom matters and how instrumental the U.S. has been in helping other countries gain freedom. Now Walesa has some tough words for the U.S. The U.S. is no longer a political and moral leader in the world, he says. America is no longer the last best hope for man. Ouch.
From IBD :
The champion of Polish freedom tells America it's no longer that shining city on a hill. As it slouches toward socialism, he warns, those yearning to breathe free in the world can no longer look to the U.S. for help...
In a press conference, Walesa commented on an America that seemingly apologizes for everything these days, cajoles rather than confronts the thugs of the world and is embarked on a path to shackle beyond redemption the free economy that led the Free World to victory.
He no longer thinks we are the last best hope for mankind.
"The United States is only one superpower. Today they lead the world. Nobody has doubts about it, militarily," the Polish leader said. "They also lead economically, but they're getting weak.
"But they don't lead morally and politically anymore. The world has no leadership. The United States was always the last resort and hope for all other nations. There was the hope, whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today, we lost that hope." (emphasis added)
