Obama on the Brink
Both candidates are embracing, rather than challenging, the fundamental irrationality of Bush's "war on terror," which substitutes hysteria for rational analysis in appraising the dangers the country faces.

My problem isn't that Obama doesn't always agree with me. My problem is that he has started to not always agree with himself -- falling prey instead to the Conventional Wisdom sirens.

"If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I would do everything to stop that, " Obama told reporters at the Sderot police station. He said he "would expect Israel to do the same thing."
You're so right Barack... that's exactly what Israel has been doing for almost 60years - to the palestinians.
"If my country was occupied I'd fight back too" - George W Bush.
You're so right George; Palestine is occupied, almost 60years.
Why is the life of a palestinian worth nothing?
I don't live in the U.S anymore but my family do, and they all intend to vote for Barack. I hope from the bottom of my heart that he will finally implement a fear approach to this scourge, that under his leadership this horror will reach a just and fair climax.
Palestinians have the right to be wary. they have been screwed time and again. like obama said he can't snap his fingers and fix it. the israelis have to uphold their side of the bargain and palestinians have to do better at stopping a few rogue suicide bombers from breaking truces. it's a hard situation.
What did you expect??? Obama just said that Jerusalem will be Israeli and he will defend Israel at all costs. The Palestinians know full well where his allegiances are...why should they kid themselves? What exactly would he do for them...nothing!
Senator Obama looks very tired in that photo.
I hope he is able to get some sleep soon.
And I hope the Berlin speech goes well for him.
Obama '08
p.s. McCain could have never gone to as many places and met with as many leaders that Obama has in such a short time. Obama is much more qualified to be our next president than McCain. McCain is too old!
I meant McGirk, not you Texan. I completely agree with you. This man has endured much during the past year, with attacks from all sides, including the corporate media and "citizen journalists".
Amen.
