I think you hit the nail right on the head; Hawaiians are not really Americans. Foreign policy has been the quintessential home run of the Obama administration and his speech/address to the Islamic world captured that spirit. Military intervention has never had the desired effects on changing foreign politics and administrations. If you need academic backing read Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steele" on the historical failures of free-market capitalism and historical foreign military interventions in developing countries. Or read Atul Kohli's "State-Directed Development" which addresses foreign and western powers failures and success in bridging religious and political factions. PRESIDENT OBAMA captured and epitomized the prescriptions for intervention and success in foreign countries in his historic and absolutely successful speech. Basically, just read. Any academic prescription or case study on the subject will help you self-actualize and realize the failure in your assessment. And FYI, I didn't vote for Obama but I am wishing I had.
You suck!!! tired of Obama apologizing? the limitless spiral of violence ends lives, don't forget that, ask the people I knew in the twin towers!
Oh, they are dead, I wonder what would they do, knowing that much of this violence comes from fanatism, from BOTH sides?
Count me in. Lost my job and have nothing better to do than raise holy hell in D.C.
