I don't think they understand the concept.

. . .the fact is it is the Palestinian and Arab world that has prevented the formation of a Palestinian state for more than 60 years. How many statehood offers by the United Nations, by the United States and its allies and by left and right wing Israeli governments have been rejected by the Palestinians since 1947? All offers have been based on Arab acceptance of Israel as an independent Jewish state in the Middle East — something that even the so-called "moderate" Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas still says he refuses to accept.

That is the core problem. It was. It is. and it remains so post-Cairo.

That word doesn’t exist in their language.

Islam has "always been a part of America's story." That's news to me.

Well, there were the Barbary Pirates from near the beginning. Where do you thing "... to the shores of Tripoli" in the Marine's Hymn comes from?

Obama really stretched it.

Islam has "always been a part of America's story."

That's news to me.

And its news to everyone ELSE on Planet Earth as well. So just precisely WHERE is this guy from again?

“Kumbaya” is what the black southern Sudanese Christian says while the Arabic northern Sudanese is shouting “Allah Akbar” and cutting the Christian’s throat.

Then the liberals and the Replacement theologians will blame the terrorist incident on the existence of Israel.

I don't know about you, but I am increasingly weary of our national leader trying to win friends and influence enemies by fancy word-work mixed with apologies for America's past sins -- real or imaginary. Yes, the presidential speech in Cairo could have been a lot worse. But in the opinion of this veteran of 40 years of Mideast reporting President Obama really stretched it. Islam has "always been a part of America's story." That's news to me. And why beat your breast over American involvement in the 1953 overthrow of Iran's Mossadeq regime. If Mr Obama thought he was reaching out a conciliatory hand to the Mullahs of Tehran, he missed it. The mullahs who seized power in 1979 have tried to use Mossadeq now as a martyr. But they always opposed and despised Mossadeq who was a secular nationalist. Nor was his regime "democratically elected". At the time Mossadedeq was overthrown with CIA help, he had autocratically suspended elections and ruled Iran by "emergency decree". As David Frum put it, "for the United States to apologize to the present Iranian regime for the overthrow of Mossadeq would be a little like President Eisenhower apologizing to Josef Stalin for the murder of Trotsky."
