Re: Citizen Obama Speaks
It won't end until every Jew leaves Israel or until every Palestinian is moved to some other country. They will never learn to live together.

Re: Citizen Obama Speaks
As a german I know that even hatred which seems ultimate and indefinite can end quicker than anyone expected. It's just that the mass of people needs to swallow. Right now, with Palestinians having nothing to lose and no perspective for their future, peace is hardly impossible. But that will change once their position and perspective will change.

Re: Citizen Obama Speaks
Yes. I can understand that the US needs to widen military operations into Pakistan. If someone fried 3000 of my fellow citizens, I would want his ass on a silverplate, too. But I would want my gouvernment to make quiete an effort to not let the operation escalate into something to which only applies the term "military campaign".

Re: Obama's speech in Berlin
Quote:
Since Obama is running against McCain, it might be more relevant to compare McCain's first 3 years of legislative work with Obama's. That might be an apples to apples comparison. But again, on the whole, Obama has no case for being more experienced than McCain. That ground has to be condeded. Like I said... McCain automatically wins every argument that can be made based on seniority.

Re: Obama's speech in Berlin
McCain's seniority is waist deep in failed policy and old school bureaucracy. We don't need someone with huge amounts of experience in failure.
Iraq for example - McCain keeps arguing that the surge is working and says Obama is wrong. The decision to attack Iraq was the wrong one - a decision McCain supported and Obama opposed. You can not win a war that is not grounded in honorable cause - Yes the troops can perform their duty with honor and gain tactical success on the ground - but the failure of the commander-in-chief strategy to attack a Country based on a political whim is criminal failure. The victor of a dishonorable war is a loser and McCain wants to continue the loser war. Time to replace losers with winners! The economy for example - McCain has stated the he has no experience on economic issues and he has stated that he has vast experience on economic issues. The fact that he isn't really clear himself on how well he does not understand economics is telling how much he really does not understand economics.

Obama had his eye on the prize after he made the 04 convention speech so the same applies I believe.

Re: Obama's speech in Berlin
Quote:
The point of what I said was that if you wanted to measure the legislative productivity of Obama.... you should compare his legislative activities to another senator over the same span of time. .... and I didn't think Hilary is the best example when we could directly compare McCain, since he's the senator that just happens to be Obama's current competitor. I then condeded that, although Obama's legislative record is not very lengthy, if the litmus is based on seniority.. and therefore legislative experience then there is no contest in the matter. John McCain wins that argument. Hillary Clinton successfully made the same argument.
