The title of this was the title of a piece on Reuters UK today on Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speech about Barack Obama. “Iran's supreme leader said on Thursday the United States was deeply hated in the Middle East and told U.S. President Barack Obama that "beautiful" speeches alone would not improve its image in the Muslim world.” More specifically, “Even if they give sweet and beautiful talks to the Muslim nation ... that will not create a change.” Khamenei said.
So I suppose this confirms the hypothesis in a previous article of mine where I mentioned that Obama loves to give his speeches but unfortunately people don’t want to listen to poetic talk, they want action. Obama still wants to sit down with Iran? Why would he waste everyone’s time? It’s clear they could care less about the U.S. And they certainly could care less about Israel. Khamenei made reference to them as a “cancerous tumor in the heart.” That is very flattering.
Obama’s speech today, again, was apologetic to the Arab world. Obama is trying to sweet talk Muslim nations so that he can be responsible for a big peace effort in the Middle East. (Another Jimmy Carter) But what Obama does not realize is that the majority of Muslim nations in the Middle East are not interested in peace. They are so peeved, and have been for over 30 years, at the United States, that sweet talking them and pandering to them will not solve this problem. Obama cannot solve the Iran nuclear issue this way. Moreover, Obama is alienating the one jewel of the Middle East which is Israel. He basically dissolved George W. Bush’s policy that permitted Israel to increase the number of settlers in communities that Israel wants to retain if the Palestinians establish an independent state. Above all else, Obama is snubbing Israel by not even including a stop there during this trip to the Middle East.
Obama’s inexperience is showing and no matter how many speeches you make you can’t change the facts that there are real threats in this world that care more about themselves than you. They are willing to blow themselves up for their religion and they are willing to create Armageddon to obtain their goal of martyrdom. I really don’t think Obama is checking his email account on that Blackberry otherwise he would have gotten the memo on this.
