moved from the Milgram thread as being off topic to that thread. Just look in the news where a simple diplomatic mistake, quickly apologized for (and accepted) has been spun out into a 'command' from the US to perform (or not perform) an action in a city who's status was part of negotiations between two groups. Now those negotiations are tainted with the decision of the US that the city will go to one party regardless of negotiations.
Yes, there are some who feel that the US should lay down the law (as they see it) on Israel (and only Israel), but it's being played out on the part of the US as a media circus. Clinton's actions in this have to come directly from Obama. Obama's actions have to come directly from Obama. He thinks he knows better about the Middle East than anyone else yet all of his actions has caused less peace than more. The Palestinians are doing all they can to avoid talking to Israel despite the wishes of the US. The other Arab countries are rejecting any contact or any confidence building measures with Israel despite the wishes of the US. The more Obama blasts and commands Israel, the weaker Israel seems which leads to more demands and less negotiations. Abbas got some power and now is using it to get more power. No negotiations - just forced results. Negotiations between parties means negotiations and the more the US demands, the less negotiations go on. One day soon Israel will take the support that the US gives them (most of which must be spent in the US) and just reject it. This will screw up Egypt because of how the support is allocated. This will screw up so many things and all because Obama has to make demands on one side in the middle of negotiations. But he's the hope and change president. He knows better than us. He's going to change the world. Lets hope the change is for the better. -- Michael Dinowitz On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 9:38 PM, Maureen <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 6:28 PM, Michael Dinowitz > <[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> And before people jump in and say Bush in response to my mention of >> people in power going crazy, I can point to the total debacle that >> Obama is making of the Middle East in response. > > Links? > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
