Islam never went through a Reformation the way Christianity did. Their “gift” of oil has really been more of a curse to their societies as they struggle with having been thrust into the “modern” world.

The U.S. sits on huge oil, gas, and coal reserves which Liberals prevent us from getting.

I appreciate your thoughts.

Peace is a wonderful thing, but the people President Obama is trying to make peace with are willing to die for their religous ideology.

If they aren’t killing us for our beliefs they are killing each other or minor sectarian differences in what is basically the same religion.

The problem is..all these problems sit on top of the oil and the United Staes and the rest of the world is much to dependent upon it. Solve this and for the most part the regions problems will become secondary headlines and problems much like the genocide and starvation in many of the African countries.

I largely agree with you on “multi-culturalism.” To the Liberal, Obama’s speech was making friendship gestures, being “open” and other touchy feely things like that. While presenting an open hand instead of a clenched fist didn’t work for Carter and the Soviet Union because they promptly invaded Afghanistan. It won’t work in the Middle East as they will play him like a simple puppet. We’ll feel the effects of this speech in 2-5 years I think.

You have read many of my ideas on shortcomings of multiculturalism, and Obama doesn't disappoint when his pathetic attempts of multicultural exchange highlight these shortcomings. It's always humorous to hear the response of Iran's leaders to Obama's overtures. It would be nice if the American cultural mind could be so penetrating as the mind of our Persian friends who apparently see right through Obama and his overbearing, obstruse, convoluted, self-righteous, and indulgent speeches. I am not saying I agree with the Iranians on Israel, but their opinion on Obama is right on target. Burro’s last blog post..Global Warming: It’s too good to be true

An interesting article on the subject of opinion polls, the U.S., and democracy in Iraq: http://abcnews.go.com/PollingUnit/story?id=7058272&page=1

As for Afghanistan, I’d say almost all women and children would disagree with you as their life under the Soviets and the Taliban was pretty terrible.
