An excellent analysis of Obama’s Middle East speech
An excellent analysis of Obama’s Middle East speech, and why the reaction to it has been so hostile.
The crisis, then, was caused by three factors: The ignorance of the Obama Administration over the issues involved; Obama’s chronic lack of friendliness toward Israel; and his refusal to recognize the threat from revolutionary Islamism.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I think Obama’s central problem is he’s such an ideologue, that he disregards any reality that conflicts with his dogma. He was sure the troubles with Iran were just that the US didn’t try to be friendly. So for years he’s been holding out his hand in friendship and getting spit on. Then looking confused, but having faith in his dogma, he trys the same thing again.
He had a private talk with the Saudi King assuring him he understood that all the Mideast friction would go away if the Israel Palestinian land disputes were settled. The Saudi King ripped him down one side and up the other (he’s know for “directness”) for not knowing what the hell he was talking about. Yet he still goes and pushes Israel to give up more and more land and concessions and ignoring any of the primary issues in the arab parts of the world.
Dogma takes precedence over reality.
