Change has come at last, or has it?
Obama has done something unprecedented. He has given the first official interview as U.S. President to Al-Arabiya, the Arabic language channel.
Obama said this:
“Now, my job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect,” he told the Saudi-owned station. “I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries.”
And he also said this:
"We cannot paint with a broad brush a faith as a consequence of the violence that is done in that faith's name. I cannot respect terrorist organizations that would kill innocent civilians and we will hunt them down. But to the broader Muslim world what we are going to be offering is a hand of friendship."
My hunch is that Obama is not to be trusted on his words. He is too good to be true. I feel he will do whatever is necessary, he will be pragmatic.
That's refreshing, coming from an American president. He is certainly setting up high expectations. I only wish he comes good.
ReplyDeleteHe will do what is in USA's best interest in the guise of Obama
ReplyDeleteUSA's best interest? I'd say Obama's best interests. That is the way free market works.
