I disagree.They know that the US will hit them.No one that wants to survive in the Middle East can go against what the US wants.But can a POTUS say that to a global TV audience? C'mon.Let's be grown up about this.He's not talking to the guys in the bar in your neighbourhood, but to the millions living under tyrants throughout that region and those that want change to hear that a US today will support that desire for freedom.And the first step is the removal of the PLO and a democratic regime to take hold.Good going.

"the millions living under tyrants throughout that region and those that want change"

Seperate the "millions living under tyrants" from "those that want change", or better yet those who even with the verbal support of history's mightest nation would be willing to work for and risk their wealth, families and being for change. And further consider that at least since 1929's Hebron Massacre, the anti-Jewish Muslim clerics and potentates have been systemically assasinating those Palestinians who would *like* to live as neighbors in peace with Jews.

After 72 years now, the seed mix is extremely light on Palestinians who do NOT want every Jew killed in the most violent and painful way possible.

It is -- even spiritually, I suspect -- negligible. There weren't ten good men in Sodom to save it either.

But if there are more let them act to be heard or if less let them act to save themselves.
