Unlike Bush who made up stuff to feed the Military Industrial Cabal, Obama is just stating the obvious. War was so yesterday! It was a mistake, its over!

But you're right. We (the French) and their African allies are out to deny these poor Islamists the right to self determination, to subjugating their women, to mount attacks on Christians and Zionists. Just who do we and the French think we are, the guardians of civilization? Yes, we are.Howard Brooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364174239954243773.post-2394917776989481722013-01-24T02:27:25.000-08:002013-01-24T02:27:25.000-08:00Why do you think Islamists gained followers?

They are bullies who victimize their own for the sheer pleasure of it. The world cannot be oversimplified into evil imperialists against pure socialists. To get back to the people who were unimpressed by Obama not declaring another senseless war there is no need to applaud the obvious.
