His speech was perfect. It spoke to the wrong thinking of both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It told the truth; violence will win NOTHING. And neither will making it impossible for the Palestinians to succeed on the most basic of levels.
Obama literally told the Muslim world that it is in THEIR hands to eradicate the extremism among them. And he's spot on. No one can do it but themselves. And if they want peace, and to prosper, and to have a life, they have to step up to the plate.
He spoke to the people, not to their 'leaders.' Now, if only Americans will get the same message about the extremists among us, and put OUR 'foot' down.
