The "world" just jumped joyously at Obama being elected as president here.

The "world" has just proven to be clueless, that is except for the Muslims who have played this perfectly so far. I think Israel had better prove itself as vigilant as it has in the past.

The rest of the world can afford and play fashionable politics for the time being. Israel had better stick with attending to the real Islam as they have in the past. There is just no choice for Israel what with their location and the "loving" nature of their neighbors.

The Arab nations will not give but temporary token acceptance to Israel existence for as long as it takes to blindside all those who have no idea what Islam wants.
