| Well at least Obama has something in common with those guys, the American perspective was attacking Obama's religious background just like we attack their religious background. As being anti-American in some of the wording of those two religions.
They might get along just fine in understanding each other's situation.
The thing is we should not go there and demand they become a Democracy like us, or that they must obey us or else war will be the result. We need to take a more humble attitude, our pupose should not be to generate a civil war in their country or anything like that.
Our objective is first to show that we respect them and are willing to listen to their sides of a dispute, and that we would be willing to take actions to resolve some of the complaints when they are rightly justified. We must show them that yes, America is really changing our ways and that the Obama motto is not made out of hot air.
We have lots of famous people here in the USA who belong to the Islamic religion and who are not viewed as radicals. Take them with us to those talks.
We must create a new image of America which is less threatening while keeping our true power in a more sedated mode and as a mystery.
We must demonstrate somehow that we will treat all middle eastern countries with the same sense of equality and fairness that we have granted to Israel, by offering the same hand of potential friendship. And we must stop with this fear of saying anything bad about Israel when they get wrongly out of control.
We must make it clear that some of the businessmen who operate in forien countries or who take advantage of forien workers are not representive of the rest of us in America. If Nike shoes is really using child labor that is misstreated we should take action and not just sit by and allow that to happen, even if we must ban such imports to this country. We must show the world we will stand up for human rights everywhere that we can have direct influence. (starting in our own back yard and with those who cross our own boarders to be taken advantage of by our employers). |
