The problem is that the most powerful man in the world and his buddys are in charge. They seem to think that they can talk to these terrorists. Makes no sense to me.
Bush was almost identical to Obama in this regard. He chose the term “war on terror’ which helped defuse anger about Islam. He used the absurd ‘hijacked religion’ and cotiuously sold the story line that it is only a few bad apples that we somehow must identify.
He was, obviosly, more effective in managing our defense. But coceptually he viewed Islam the same way Zero does.
