Obama's failure to condemn, in unequivocal terms, the litany of human rights and electoral abuses by the authoritarian, corrupt, oppressive Iranian regime robs him of moral stature. He must base relations with the Middle Eastern and Muslim worlds on an explicit endorsement of Western Enlightenment values. Regimes that declare war on their own citizens cannot be sweet talked or engaged. They must be opposed because they represent an affront to the moral basis of human life.

'Obama must deliver because he has raised expectations among Muslims of a new era of relations with America'

Obama has no chance of delivering because he knows the Palestinians would never agree to a two state solution unless they are allowed rockets and weapons to continue to attack Israel with. The Palestinians have shown time and time again they are not interested in peace and won't be satisfied until Israel is wiped off the map. Thankfully a short read of history and prophecy shows that God will protect His people despite the many horrendous hardships they have faced. Exciting days for those who can see the Day approaching.

The thing that the unchristian religious bigots (many falsely claiming to be "Christians") fail to realise is that "His" people are ALL the people who have ever lived, past/present/future. And shock, horror ----this includes the Palestinians. They are no less "His" people than the Israelis.
