How can Barack Obama be worse than George W. Bush by doing exactly the opposite of what George W. Bush does?
If what George W. Bush and "others" do leads to the worst foreign policy calamities in modern history, then how can reversing those policies and being willing to discuss and sit down with people who disagree be worse?
It's not a very logical statement to make. Furthermore, the terrorist nation list is a joke.
You do realize Saudi Arabia engages in some of the worst human rights violations in the world? You do realize they mistreat women, persecute homosexuals and put people in jail for excessive time for just having poppy seeds on the bread they accidentally brought over?
This diary is beyond the pale. Senator Obama wants to engage in REALISM as a foreign agenda - the same realism that President Kennedy, President Reagan, President Roosevelt and President Clinton engaged in.
And even this President has sat down with a disgusting leader. The King of Saudi Arabia and his cabinet. Or how about Rumsfeld and others sitting with Saddam Hussein when he was "in".
Terrorism is what you make of it. When millions are slaughtered in Africa, when hundreds of thousands die in Darfur, when North Korea gets away with actually having nuclear weapons, what is a bullshit terrorist list?
I thought I had come to expect at least concurrence on foreign policy amongst even the most extreme of Senator Clinton's supporters but I don't think I can expect even that.
I'm just going to assume you're some random individual looking to deliver a cheap shot because this is just... I can't even describe it.
It's so grossly negligent with the facts and loose with morals, I can't even begin to comprehend how I'm not at LGF.
