Response To Obama"s Reaching Out......

Just say the word...

...and thy will be done:

Obama's belief in dialogue, in the winning power of friendly humility, will be tested not by the reaction to his speeches, but by the success or failure of his smiling overtures to those now hostile to our country. The results so far: Osama bin Laden has denounced him, Kim Jong-Il has mocked him by launching rockets and rattling his centrifuge, Mahmoud Ahmadinijad has defied him, and European leaders have refused his requests for more NATO troops and centrally planned economic stimulus programs.

(....)

To believe that these and other such initiatives will succeed, one has to believe that other nations and peoples are motivated primarily by a desire to get along with others, and not a desire to acquire more power, land, prestige, or influence. One has to believe that the desire for power and status stems not from human nature, but from outside factors -- such as a misplaced fear of American intentions, or a misunderstanding of a rival's point of view. Fix the outside causes of their hostility, and people will revert to their natural, peaceful state.

Got peace if you want it, eh?
