					<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;Obama gets it right&lt;/strong&gt;

Obama&#039;s seeming inaction over the protests sweeping the Middle East is exactly what he needs to do - that is, nothing.

					<description><![CDATA[The rumour in the US is that Obama is already bored at his job. He never stayed longer than two years in any job throughout his career. The media are also keeping tab on the number of golf games he plays, especially during each and every crisis during the last two years.

He wanted to make history by becoming the first African American to become President and now wants to move on and cash in his experience – unlike Latin countries, in the Anglo Saxon countries most politicians make their money after retiring from politics.  Probably he plans to move on in the international lecture / conference circles, like Bill Clinton. He could earn around $300,000 - $450,000 per speech.  He is an excellent orator.

Obama lived on the fringes of American society. He grew up fatherless in Hawaii, moved to Indonesia, and does not seem to make any effort to interact with other people. Given his solitary upbringing, he does not seem to be bothered by all the critics.]]></description>

You can&#039;t see everything as a conspiracy theory, that&#039;s true.

American interest in world affairs began in the Second World War, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour, not so much because they wanted to help the British fight that war. Then they got dragged into the whole thing and it just carried on from there.

When, some years ago, I spoke against the &#039;vision&#039; of Obama, on this website - and not against America as such - everyone mocked me. Never mind, that&#039;s part of the game.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The total American disapproval percentage for Obama&#039;s policies is currently at 55%.
That puts him in a position which is not much better than Gaddafi&#039;s popularity at home.

					<description><![CDATA[I think that the USA and the &#039;West&#039; in general have neither the legitimacy (because of Iraq and Afghanistan) and frankly nor the duty to interfere in other regions&#039; internal issues. Believing that the West should interfere implies that the Arabs need the &#039;superior&#039; West to protect them from themselves.

Why weren&#039;t there any calls on Arab states to impose the no-fly zone themselves? Are they &#039;exempt&#039; from this call for duty because they are considered to be incapable to carry out such military operations? If this is the case, isn&#039;t this a form of superiority complex.

If the North African and Middle Eastern countries want liberty and democracy they should seek and achieve them themselves as has happened in Egypt and Tunisia. I find this talk of the West abandoning the rebels annoying.

There was clearly no agreement between Libyans themselves as to what kind of military help the West should provide. Besides, the West&#039;s interference in this fight for freedom would have &#039;westernised&#039; (as a Libyan expert on Al Jazeera put it) this spontaneous and perfectly justified uprising against an Arab tyrant - not an ideal turn of events in the eyes of many Arabs.

If Gaddafi was installed there by the West as is the case in a few countries, then yes, the West would have to be blamed for this bloodshed and would have been morally obliged to protect the population. I am sure that I will now be accused of possessing the Sicilian mountains mentality, preferring expediency over principles, but have international relations ever been carried out differently.]]></description>
