I listened to Obama’s weekly youtube address. Cynical as I am, I feel like he really means well and is smart enough to get the job done. I feel exposed when I listen to him, it’s like he breaks through all my secure perimeters I have put up to not get disappointed in the US leadership. Maybe, just maybe Obama is for real. I hope he is. I left the message below on his website change.gov. I will update the blog if there is any repsonse.
Please, don’t bomb those poor people, help them. That is the only way to root out the terrorists. Any and all aggressive/violent action taken against terrorists incurs “collateral” damage which just leads to an increase in terrorist recruits. If these young men thought that there was any chance that they could have a secure and happy life, they would not be blowing themselves up. They have been put in a circumstance where they have nothing to lose. Give them something to live for, there is no other way to stop them.
