And the whole world celebrates…

I think the world right now might just be happier than Americans themselves. Bush’s reign of terrorizing third world countries is now over. I did not think Obama would make it, he’s too liberal, too African American, and his middle name is Hussein. But I’m really glad I was wrong.

    I think those who would blame Bush solely for his “reign of terror” don’t quite understand how the United States political process works. And I guess being half African American can be too African American for some people, but apparently not for the majority.

    The kin has always been lending the name for the cruelties of his knights.

    Simon, oh, I’m very aware of that and I agree. As we say when it comes to leadership, “the buck stops here.” I’m just pointing out how inaccurate that view actually is.

    Well, first of all Obama is not too African American, he is bi-racial. Secondly, he is not too liberal as he opposes same sex marriage and he is not clear on the pro-choice issue.

    That said, I think the American people made history when the elected a president who belongs to a small minority group, not only that, but he is also a son of a recent immigrant. Way too long for us in the Arab world to come close to that history making moments.

    I’m so glad that the historic nature of this election isn’t lost on anyone. I hope that this election marks the beginning of major political reformation in the US.

    People have been saying that merely having a black President will positively affect the relations the US has with other nations, but I’m interested in whether or not those of you outside of the country feel he’s the right man for the job policy-wise? Many officials have also been throwing around the idea that “terrorists will have less of a reason to hate us” now that we have a minority in the white house; any thoughts?

    Em, as a long term expat, I remember under Clinton when he was the derision of this part of the world for ‘being weak’. Nothing Saddam Hussein did would cause anything but another toothless ‘denouncement’, that proved to everyone what an impotent land America had become, which was pounced upon by ‘terrorists’ with different attacks in different places who took pride in their ‘strength’ of getting away with it.

    So then Bush did retaliate, and everyone woke up. We went from ‘weak’ to strong, and yet a show of strength to confront a US made neighborhood despot no one else would brought a sense of shame as well as outrage. I’m not sure which response actually sparks more ‘terrorism’: weakness, shame, or rage. Where President Obama fits, I don’t know. I do know, that taking whatever road the ‘terrorists’ hate us less, is too broad to set foreign policy on.

    Hopefully the economic problems will keep the whole world busy for a few years, they might forget to hate.

    Yes, policy-wise he’s good for America. The war in Iraq did cost the US a lot, and it would cost them a lot to stay there for many years as McCain was propsing until victory is achieved, and I’m not sure what victory means to start with because there was nothing to win in Iraq.
    Kinzi, I don’t recall Clinton being weak, and I don’t know if internationally he’s regarded as being weak. He intervened militarily in Somalia which proved to be a disaster but he pulled out quickly afterwards, and again in Serbia which proved to be successful, and didn’t do it by himself but with a decent coallition. 9/11 happened after has Bush has been in office for a few months and had a lot of warning signs that he did not do anything about.

    I wonder why all these people are so happy to see Obama win, didn’t he promise the Jewish lobby to ensure that Jerusalem will become the undivided capital of Israel!

    يا جماعه الخير لاتتوقعو خيرمن أوباما واكبر مثل علي ذالك ،أختيره صهيوني أرهابي رام أيمانيول،،اصحوايا عالم يا ناس،بجب ان نعتمدعلي نفسنا بلا أوباما بلاهم

    i dedicate this to all the douchebags in ur screenshot ..

    In an interview with Ma’ariv, Emanuel’s father, Dr. Benjamin Emanuel, said he was convinced that his son’s appointment would be good for Israel. “Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel,” he was quoted as saying. “Why wouldn’t he be? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to clean the floors of the White House.”
