I feel that by going to that school as a child has given him an advantage he has learned how to talk to other people of other an other faith with out insulting them. so just maybe he may be able to find a way to reach at least a diplomatic accord then just maybe we may have a few years of peace and compassion for our fellow humans on this planet we have to share.

A Case for Barack Hussein

So, America, get out of Iraq, and allow us once again to admire your model of government. For that purpose, Obama is the man. In this respect, his black skin and his experience as a social worker in urban neighborhoods are strong advantages. This story, if well told, can resonate in the minds of the poor and the oppressed in the Arab and Muslim world—the Islamists typical constituency. And it's not the only story that should be exploited, in the case of an Obama presidency. As soon as the election is over and Fox News's malice is no longer harmful, think of resuming the story of Barack Hussein attending an Islamic school in Indonesia when he was a kid. That's terrific! Not only would the average Arab-Muslim have no reason to dislike America, but he would even claim its president.
Of course, if all this happens, there will be some disappointment ahead, for Obama won't stop being what he genuinely is: an American who cares for his country's best interests. He looks like a smart man, though—the kind who can develop an American foreign policy that is the least destructive, if not wholly beneficial. From our point of view, believe me, that would be change.
