Pesidential hopeful Barak Obama visited Israel today...
His visit was designed to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to Israel's Security, but unlike other American Diplomats, he also met with the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Obama promised to immediately address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, once elected, without yielding any ground to dissenters who insist that his approach to the Middle East is dangerously idealistic. Obama also addressed the need to deal with nuclear nonproliferation in Iran, without taking any threatening posture. Humanitarian leadership may finally guide our Nation's international interests. It seems that patriotism may find new modes of expression without the need for good-old-boy/macho politics.
