I confess to mixed feelings about Mr. Obama's remarks in the Middle East yesterday. Sounded more like an apology for America's mistakes than a reinforcement of our core values as a democracy. The calculated refusal to use the word "terrorist" when speaking Al Quaida, and the apparent legitimizing of Hamas seemed more an attempt to soften an American hardline than to achieve true understanding of what is needed to finally bring peace to the Middle East. I'm still studying his words, but what I am reading says his position has not changed Middle Eastern opinions that we are still the infidel to be resisted at any cost. Even the often liberal guys on The Comedy Channel seem unimpressed. What do you think? Talk to me.
