Didn't they say that the extreme left will ALWAYS lead to extreme right?? But let me ask you a question jem...Would you consider a person who calls for inclusion as an extreme right??
I should have said ray not array in my previous post. Inclusion into what. You would be conservative if you said you should take your culture and fit it into the current culture of the nation. Make adjustments learn the langauage and the customs. the melting pot. Have you ever noticed that the asians who are smart enough to take american first names are pretty much treated as one of us? It is a two way steet. They bend a little and the larger group fits them in. However, dumb bastards now say you should take your culture and make ours change to fit yours. That is the liberal version of inclusion and it seems to lead to exclusion chaos and the destruction of national spirit.
And I am for that! I suggest you start with Brooklyn. Which Asians? The China Town(s) Asians? You have Italian, and Portuguese Ghettos in every major city in the US. Is that what you call inclusion?? Beside, I didn't see the 50,000 westerners in UAE changing their names to Abdullah and Muhamed Jem. Care to tell me why?? Even you, being an Irish were considered as a threat in the mid 1800 by the Anglo Protestants. You kept and insisted on your Catholic faith and your Leroy(s). You still paint the Chicago river green and you evolved the American society to match your specific needs. Heck you even created the TeGregg(s) who now implement their own hate and rejection for everything that is not their America. Funny how things evolve jem. Funny and interesting. Oh and by the way, Arabs are considered to be the fastest assmilating minority in the US after Germans. Isn't that also ironic!

"The big question is going to be, if Iran is resistant to these pressures, including economic sanctions, which I hope will be imposed if they do not cooperate, at what point are we going to, if any, are we going to take military action?" Obama asked. Given the continuing war in Iraq, the United States is not in a position to invade Iran, but missile strikes might be a viable option, he said. Obama conceded that such strikes might further strain relations between the U.S. and the Arab world. "In light of the fact that we're now in Iraq, with all the problems in terms of perceptions about America that have been created, us launching some missile strikes into Iran is not the optimal position for us to be in," he said. "On the other hand, having a radical Muslim theocracy in possession of nuclear weapons is worse. So I guess my instinct would be to err on not having those weapons in the possession of the ruling clerics of Iran. ... And I hope it doesn't get to that point. But realistically, as I watch how this thing has evolved, I'd be surprised if Iran blinked at this point." As for Pakistan, Obama said that if President Pervez Musharraf were to lose power in a coup, the United States similarly might have to consider military action in that country to destroy nuclear weapons it already possesses. Musharraf's troops are battling hundreds of well-armed foreign militants and Pakistani tribesmen in increasingly violent confrontations. Obama said that violent Islamic extremists are a vastly different brand of foe than was the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and they must be treated differently. "With the Soviet Union, you did get the sense that they were operating on a model that we could comprehend in terms of, they don't want to be blown up, we don't want to be blown up, so you do game theory and calculate ways to contain," Obama said. "I think there are certain elements within the Islamic world right now that don't make those same calculations. "... I think there are elements within Pakistan right now--if Musharraf is overthrown and they took over, I think we would have to consider going in and taking those bombs out, because I don't think we can make the same assumptions about how they calculate risks."
that's not the original article you posted. in the original, the extent of Obama's comment on the solution to Iran, was: "And while we should take no option, including military action, off the table, sustained and aggressive diplomacy combined with tough sanctions should be our primary means to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons."
