Good, perhaps we can begin to win over the hearts and minds of the Muslim people, and they will SEE that the hateful rhetoric from terrorists are a pack of lies!

And for all those who will criticize our president, you should read Matthew 5:44. And review the Beatitudes, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God."

Peace........ Shalom....... Salam........ Paz!

President Obama made an analogy that seems to have gone under the main stream media's radar. The analogy raises this question, is Palestine to Israel what Blacks were to the South's Jim Crow laws?

President Obama argued that Palestine should model their resistance after the African American Civil Rights and Non-violent movement. While his larger point was that justice sought with innocent bloodshed and violence only creates more injustice and deepens the conflict I wonder if there may be a subtle gesture toward the Palestinian government as having a similar moral high-ground that Blacks had during the civil rights movement.

Is the President suggesting that but for Palestinians use of violence they are more akin to oppressed Blacks during and before the 1960's? If the Palestinians were to use the media to stage dramatic disparity between unarmed men, women and children against militarized Israelis would the world opinion move in support of Palestinians?

So far so good. What we need now as Americans is to have some positive attitude towards what the president is trying to do. We can't undo the past, we have to focus on the future. I definately do not want to experience another sept 11 and I am sure we can avoid it. You critics, please look at life from a positive point of view for a change and stop the hate. We are all skeptical but the effort made should be celebrated as a win for our own good. Only prayer and a positive mindset will bring us more of what we want.

Obama is only showing weakness when he goes to our enemies and apologizes for American people and calling them arrogant and racist like Eric Holder did. I believe if we had another hostage crisis like in 1979 when Jimmy Carter let terrorist hold Ameicans Hostage for 444 days. If that was to happen now, the outcome would be the same, Since I believe Obama is a Muslim, he shoul know better to try and win the hearts and minds of muslims. It is a historic fact that you can't have talks, concessions or negotiations with muslims. It would be like talking to a brick wall

If Reza thought it was a good speech then Obama must have really scored big with his speech. I hope he has some planned actions to go with it so we can walk the walk as well as talk it. Extending the hand of friendship will do a lot more good than starting wars, especially wars we cannot finish.

At 50 years of age, I should be beyond tears, but they came today. President Obama's speech, plain in words, was pregnant with ideas of hope, reconciliation, and balance. It was also well balanced the perspective of Muslims against the usual distorted media views that most Americans embrace.

Of all of his speeches, the one in Egypt ranks at the top. Americans, and indeed the various peoples of this planet, are blessed by his leadership, intelligence, and integrity.

"Hillary: You're hiding your flag pin. Put in on the other lapel!"

Hillary: "Whoops, Mr. President, my lapel flag is hidden, what shall I do?"
Mr. President: "Say nothing now. I'll have Public Law 94-344 Sec.2 (a) changed when we get home permitting our VP to make such goofs!" Quiet!

Different messenger but smart rhetoric! But when you really analyze it you realize it was a lot of talk without substance. im a fan of obama and he is sincere but the us foreign policy isn't. The real problem which dis stabilizes the region is Israel and i was hoping for him to address like a pitbul and denounce Israel actions. He strayed off topic and the real problem and provoker in the region

i sure hope after this speech and since he wants to close gitmo, maybe they will take back their terrorists......we dont want that scum here in the united states.....one thing, he didnt appologize that much this time....but he is clearly a man without any sort of a backbone.....he makes the united states look weak as he bankrupts us....i dont know why anyone would want to run a country that he clearly hates, well maybe to run it into the ground!
