Finally, Barack Obama saw the light and broke with Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. It took him 20 years to realize that its leaders, its in-house publications, and even its guest preachers were anti-American. If elected president, he will not have so long a grace period to make his decisions.
Another vulnerable point for Senator Obama is his changing policy toward Cuba. A few days ago he announced that, if elected president, he would promote a much friendlier policy toward that country.

Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Indonesia, Lebanon, Palestinians, and of course all the other Radical Muslim-controlled nations - many in Africa as you pointed out. Add to this all the terrorist groups such as, al Qaeda, Jemaah Islamiya (Gama’a al-Islamiyya), Hamas, Hezbollah, Abu Sayyaf, Tanzeem Qaedat al-Jihad Fi Bilad al-Rafidayn, Fedayeen Saddam, al-Aqsa Martyr Brigades, Taliban, The Lord’s Resistance Army, Mujahedin-e Khalq, Ansar al-Islam, etc... etc... [I know I’m probably missing a few in this list...]
It really is a world war already - even if it hasn’t been overtly declared...
