US policy ignores human rights

For any US President, dealing with the Middle East is a delicate balancing act. Dr. Stephen Zunes, an international relations scholar specializing in the region, explains what Barack Obama could do to have a different fate than other US Presidents that have unsuccessfully tried to play their hand in establishing a just and lasting peace in the Arab World. Dr. Zunes also predicts the outcome of the Lebanese elections and what this may mean for U.S. policy toward that country.

O'Bomber is just a black puppet for the neocon agenda. He sucks up to Israel like an obedient little cocksucker.

He just made a point that is just too obvious to miss,8:00 to 8:55,a unseen influence outside of the system.There is a source for the ultimate decisions in the United States and it goes past the President,sounds silly but when the USAF and EPA were sued for violations of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act in 1994 at Groom Lake,Clinton signed a form exempting the site from actions that resulting in a horrific death of a construction worker and improper disposal of spent materials.

It seems no matter what peaceful attempts to use the American voice against war seems useless. What the heck Obama has a weak back bone? I kinda thought he did. Even if he seems humble I want him to quit touching and let them do it them selves. Should just let em have a Muslim like government. Not us police them and totally leave all alone(oil). This just makes it worse as a police state. Why with all the protests against war nothing changes? Killing the president wouldn't solve it then what?

This NWO nonsense is the 21st century equivalent of dooms day cults. Fools following a few charismatic individuals who claim to have all the answers but nothing to back it up. DO NOT drink the kool aid.

Wow! You are not very good with numbers, words and facts are you? Let me riddle you this: When you get dressed is it easier to put your shoes on before your pants or the other way around? Try not to hurt yourself thinking about it. LOL

[rantrandomly]

It always makes me laugh how ready uber-liberal's are at jumping into any petty dictators lap for a chance to spew venom on the US. It takes extraordinary selective vision to not notice growing political repression in Russia.

Another giant anti-American tool.
