Obama in the Middle East

"Iran can have nuclear Power but we can't?" to paraphrase Dennis Miller from the other day.

President Obama has been touting his Muslim heritage on his latest trip.  I wonder about the long term consequences of that.  To many Muslims, if your dad was a Muslim then you're a Muslim.  So if you brag about your Muslim heritage and then proclaim your Christianity that makes you an apostate, worse than an unbeliever in their eyes.  You have abandoned the faith, something that's just not permitted in Islam.

"In a new overture to Iran, the Obama administration has authorized U.S. embassies around the world to invite Iranian officials to Independence Day parties they host on or around July 4th."

So if they see us partying and showing how much we love our country the scales will fall from their eyes and they will realize that we love our children too! (hat tip to Sting).

Or even worse the embassies will be told not to display the American flag during the Independence Day celebrations for fear of "offending" their Iranian guests...

Then we're told that the United States is "not at war with Islam."  Well Duh!  When has it been announced that we are?  I know that GW said the same thing in his speeches.  How is it any different when Pres. Obama says it?
