While Barack Obama’s speech on race earlier this week was geared primarily toward domestic concerns, as an American of Middle Eastern origin, watching from a café in Jordan, I was struck by the possibilities it offered not only for race relations at home, but for our relationship with Arabs and Muslims abroad.

Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life individuals and collectives are likely to join forces.
Thanks for posting, Big Time.

"we must understand the context in which grievances came to be and target the conditions that continue to nurture those grievances."
Empty article complimenting empty speech... Now, since "we must", what is that context exactly? "Conditions"? How do you mean we must "target the conditions"?
Even when the USA were completely on a side of muslims, the religious zealotry and hatred were still the same. It has nothing to do with any "grievances" other than the grievance of having other religious groups still insubordinate to the Islamic rule. It will be there no matter what we do - until Islam goes through modernization.

We have all met this guy. He is the guy who follows every compliment or conciliatory remark with the word “but.”
