Those of you who have posted hate filled comments regarding Muslims et al are no better than those you preach against. Thinking rational human being understand that even in a mostly homogenous religion (I.e.-Islam or evangalism) there are outliers. People who hold more or less extreme views than their compatriots. Even if this guy had radicalized his viewpoint, that does not indict all Muslims. Just as Bin Laden's extreme view does not indict all Middle Eastern peoples. There are very rational people in all Muslim cou tries just as there are wacko extreMists in all Christian countries. And p.s.- The U.S. Is not a Christian country. Read the constitution.  View

How anticlimactic. But when it comes to the Middle East, I guess anticlimactic isn't such a bad thing. Nothing we can do but try to work with Karzai some more...  View

It is relatively inexpensive to launch terrorist attacks, so the U.S. effort to cut off donations ultimately will not curb the problem. As long as they have enough money to secure necessary resources, terrorists operations can continue. I think stopping terrorism comes down to a conversation of the economic growth of the Middle East as a whole. Alleviating poverty is the way to alleviate terrorism. Give people options.  View

Do not patronize sponsors who pull out on Glen Beck's contract. So far we know some of these companies are Best Buy, Wal Mart, Travelocity, Geico, CVS, Men's Wearhouse, Radio Shack, Procter & Gamble, and State Farm Insurance - and there are others. Beck can say what he likes. He's got a huge audience (2.5 million). Stopping him is censorship, an action motivated entirely by the desire of these companies to put themselves in a position for US sponsorship in their role in expanding trade with the middle east, particularly Libya. Beck is correct about reparation. US politicians are selling out our constitution for personal gain that will assure their current lifestyle and immense family dowry. The Kennedy's did this, and like so many others like them sucked the life out of our economy. Get a grip.  View

What's cool about this is that any car that get turned in has to be destroyed... Tat means that its good for the environment because it reduces emissions, good for people with the free cash, and good for the failing car industry... So who is this bad for... the only people against it are republicans... who think is only OK to spend money if you are doing it to kill middle easterners.  View

I would not expect Muslim nations to think to highly of Obama and by extension America, while the war on terror is being fought in the Middle East.  View

Bypassing the US Corp-Media propaganda, it quickly becomes clear they are an echo-box of US Shadow-Gov wanting Iran to fall and the Oil-Cartel back in. The evidence is that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won election in 2005 with 62% of vote, and held this support if not gaining, explaining the extraordinary 85-88% voter turnout. For this we need thank Cheney/Olmert "Atomics Still On Table" threatened for 4-long years. Iran provided 47,000 vote-stations for 40-Million voters, meaning 851 (or less) votes per station, easily counted in hours instead of weeks, with early returns certainly signaling (2 to 1) Ahmadinejad win. Mousavi had 'Party-Monitors' at every vote-station, and not one reported voting irregularities. Mousavi not the Islamic-saint implied, supposedly connected to terrorist's that bombed an killed US soldiers. Mousavi before vote counting ended charged vote error's, also incited his Tehran support to riot, however after election when Election Commission asked Mousavi to appear with written charges and (some) proof, Mousavi declined. The Islamic Republic being 92% Muslim therefore as during the 1953 CIA established rioting (360 killed) have again voted for the government they want, it is time for the Oil-Cartel or Four Sisters to develope ecologically-friendly renewable energy sources, and leave the Middle East alone.  View

I question the timing of this announcement. While a radical muslim regime finds itself between a rock and a hard place, France goes ahead and makes a move that will be seen as very anti-Islamic in the Middle East. That said, this is an interesting move because it restricts the dress of women while claiming to give them more freedom. I'm interested to see how this plays out...women definitely do not get the respect or freedom they deserve in many Muslim communities, and so while I commend Sarkozy for fighting this injustice I question his method and timing.  View

Bill Clinton made a speech in Belfast that many brushed off -- until they heard it. That speech wowed both sides in a history as apparently intractable as the situation in the middle east. The speech opened the door to a value-added US role in a situation where many thought only political damage to the US proponent could result. Clinton followed up by assigning George Mitchell for the ground game. The strategy made a huge difference and a positive contribution to peace in Ireland. I don't know who Obama has in mind, but I would be astonished if he does not have a well-planned ground game tailored to the dynamics and realities in the middle east. Let's not underestimate the impact of speech coupled with action.  View

Too bad this whole situation can't disappear with rhetoric and Koran quotes...Peace in the Middle East is a pipe dream until one side or the other is destroyed. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Obama to bridge that chasm.  View
