I agree, "IF", Obama decides to get the Arab states to see their total lack of any responsiblity, then I will heave a huge sigh of relief. His words tell me, he is deeply into Islam and Islamic associates of the radical kind. THAT does not give me much hope. "IF" he has that kind of foresight, then I will give him his due respect. He has a lot of very deep associations with a lot of wrong elements so, I don't think it is very likely.

The Arabs are famous for pompously sitting back and saying, "Only Arabs know Arabs and it is our business alone". Yeah, right. The only problem is that the Arabs have been absolutely derelict in attending to their problems. I'm sorry but, they were given absolute domination of most of the planet's oil reserves by the UN after World War II. Hard for the UN to have avoided but, nonetheless, dumb, dumb, dumb.

The loose cannon (Saddam) in their midst was being given a free hand to attack anyone he wanted to amongst their own. They did nothing for themselves about their own problem. World commerce is very dependent on the gift that was given to a few quarrlesome tribes with no clue of how to spell the words responsiblity or integrity.

In retrospect, after the fact, the Israelis have shown incredible fortitude and integrity with what they did with a microscopic sliver of worthless desert land. They have turned that portion of real estate into a thriving megolopolis by their own hard work, sweat, and blood. They asked the Palestinians to join in with their own properties and lands intact and, make Israel a land they could both enjoy. Most of the Palestinians opted out and threw in their lot with the rest of the Middle East that only "hated the Jews". Those that stayed, thank their lucky stars and pray to their "Allah" that the Islamic world does not "push the Jews into the sea". Why?? Because they have prospered hugely. I can go on in this vein but, the world has shown more of a fondness for fashionable politics than reality or cold hard facts.

If any Arab including Bin Laden has a problem with our military equipment on Saudi soil, then let them step up and do the right thing instead of attacking the nation that tried to do it for them - while paying them mega-bucks to do it. There have always been ulterior motives on the part of any government and any of their actions. You just won't get away from that. The Liberal Democrats can sqwuak all they want to about the military industrial complex and us wanting to dominate the oil world. Get over it. The right move was made regardless of the stated reasons.

"Dialogue" has never ever worked with the laziness of the Muslim Arab states who want everything on a silver platter at no cost to themselves. Wealth has fallen into their laps through absolutely no effort of their own.

They have broken almost every treaty, agreement, and etc. they have ever signed. That is factual history right up to the present day. They have a religion that gives blessings to any man that buys on board and wants to vent all their hatreds and lusts in absolutely any vile way they want towards anyone they choose to hate.

I saw a lot of value in Ron Paul myself. I didn't see that he had a very bright bulb when dealing with the Middle East. He has scruples and integrity which are rare in politics. I would have voted for him had I not found someone with higher scruples and a better bearing on reality. It was not either McCain or Obama. If Alan Keyes had been on the ballot, I would have jumped at that vote in a split second.
