This is what Barack Obama said following 9/11:
“In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Stand with the muslims cheering in America? It happened even if it is politically unpopular to remind people of it.
There was a Pakistani on the city payroll in Houston who wrote in an email to someone else (internal office) that he was happy about the attacks. His email was uncovered as he was under investigation for soliciting a co-worker for prostitution.
Thanks, I'd rather not.
They would barely know the other fights existed if it weren't for the internet. They were also fighting before the internet.
Naturally the destruction of Israel and US would not cause them to stop, because their grievances are often local.
Vietnam had more to do with Vietnam than with Communism per se. The fighting was just made part of a larger struggle by the great powers.
In India and China, this is most certainly the case with their minorities.
I personally believe that victory in the battle against these various foes will best be achieved through a divide and conquer strategy. “With us or against us” is just too simplistic and creates many more battles than necessarily need be fought. Are the Uighurs in China committing terrorists acts because of they are crazy Jihadis or is the Chinese government policy creating a reason for them to do so?
It is as equally foolish to pursue a policy of the US against everyone as to believe that with nicer talk and smiles there will be no problems.
Unfortunately, politicians think people are stupid and say things that simply complex issues. On the other hand, when they try to explain complexity they get skewered. Maybe people are too stupid.
Bloody spot on!

I beg to differ with this statement. We already had a president like this. His name was James Earl Carter!
We survived his presidency, barely. And I believe we'll survive Barak Hussain Obama's too, though I hope we don't have to go through that again. We should have at least 50 years between really bad presidents!
The choice is clear; Obama and his rose colored glasses or John McCain and the reality of plain sight.
