IRAN a Change in the Air
Many were critical of Obamas’ visit in Cairo, his speech was aimed to the moderate Muslim and was heard by many young people. He spoke of the need to recognize Palestine existence as a state while at the same time, was critical to the Israel’s continued settlement camp in the Gaza strip as not being helpful and sustainable towards peaceful co-existence with Palestine. He was also critical of the need for the Arab world to confront extreme views especially the rhetoric on the existence of Israel. He spoke of peace and the future without weapons of mass destruction. Obamas’ speech was carefully delivered to rebuild the trust lost during the Bush years.
THe effect of the speech are already seeming to work, who caould have belived that the extremist Mohadinjed would be struggling to get vote in Iran. The indications are that he could well loss this vote as many young moderate Muslims and students are tired of the way he manages Irans’ foreign policy. I am sure Fox news had a field day and were heavily critical of the apologist Obama and why he need to speak directly to Muslims. IT was for this very reason that he did to make wave in the minds of the Muslim world and to change perceptions of the West as a bunch of power hungry hawk bent on keeping everyone and every thing in check.
SO One nil OBAMA NIL to the TALEBAN (1-0) OBAMA
