Reader comment on item: A Rapid and Harsh Turn against Israel

Submitted by james burke (Canada), Jun 4, 2009 at 19:40

United States President Barack Obama is not overly brainwashed by his arab friends from Chicago ( ie, Tony Rezko and Edward Said et al) but what he calls that organ in his head, a brain, does not understand the centuries-old issues of poverty, illiteracy, tribalism and extremism facing Muslim countries, or why it is not in the interests of the arab regimes to change the way news is dessimated in the arab jungle, when they are not cutting of limbs or the private parts of females.
