"That Barack Obama chose to grant his first televised interview as U.S. president to an Arab network was a stunning enough decision"

Pretty much says it all right there doesnt it. Uh huh

[ziggy]

So what's wrong with that? You have a better solution?

$1:

And so what I want to communicate is the fact that in all my travels throughout the Muslim world, what I've come to understand is that regardless of your faith - and America is a country of Muslims, Jews, Christians, non-believers - regardless of your faith, people all have certain common hopes and common dreams."

The interview was a powerful signal that Obama, a Christian whose late father was a Muslim, considers immediate efforts to repair America's tense relationship with the Arab world a top priority.

Oh my fucking god! America has elected a truly intelligent, intelligable, reasonable person as president, who actually has a passport and has not only travelled to other countries but actually lived in them too!

What cause his father ditched them and his mom was screwing some guy in Indonesia and he got dragged along that makes him a world traveler?

Wow you must think Harper is a God.

[romanP]

Maybe you forgot that George W. Bush had never been to another country before he became president and didn't even possess a passport. Context just doesn't matter at all to you, does it?

[Sapio]

Well if that is so Obama, get all your troops off of their lands. You can say one think, but if your actions are different it is useless. They will see right through.

Perhaps Obama can tell those reasonable Muslim folks throwing acid in school girls faces or suicide bomb random people just because they don't share the same religion.. of peace.

.. and the usefull idiots just lapp ot up.

Useful Idiot? Take a look in the mirror some time. You've been here how many years and you've never so once even made a mildly interesting post. I know what your exact position on any issue will be before you even post. You've never strayed from the line of orthodoxy one modicum--you just spout off whatever palum you're fed.

That, my brain-challenged epsilon-semi-moron friend-is the definition of Useful Idiot.

Nice charactor assasination but unless you're going to make it interesting and call someone a child molester, it would be better if you stayed on topic.

[Bacardi4206]

Yeah America is not there enemy unti'll they start terrorizing Ameircan citizens again than Obama would have no choice but to do what Bush did, expecept as a more intelligent person. He will actually pick the proper country to invade instead of mistakenly attacking the wrong country responsable.

Terrorism won't stop unti'll it is confronted and made to stop. Simply stating "We are not your enemy" does not put all anger aside and make terrorists not want to attack anymore.

Oh, you're going to start on me now with the child molester routine, are you? Figures--that's about your speed. On yer bike.

I'll leave the flaming to others.

There's a transcript on the link and it's really soft on details, as it would have to be. This was similar to the leader of Iran giving his Christmass message to the UK. No discussion of Israel and no harsh words for a nuclear Iran either.

While he's the new shining light for the east, he's still launching precision missile strikes into Pakistan. It's only a matter of time till he really has to take the gloves off.

"Americas not your enemy" OK but we are still yours.
