Not Understanding the System

He is, for better or worse, the President of the United States. He postures as though he is King of the World, come to save all of the people without regard for who is what and where. But, the basics still apply. Americans elected him. Americans pay the tax bills. Americans are the ones which obligate him to act for the benefit of our nation. The obligations to other nations exist only to serve the national self-interest of the United States.

They Don't Get It

They are in India. India is a predominantly Hindu nation. It is neighboring Pakistan that is Muslim. As noted in the item, Muslims in India account for only 12% of the population. Yet, they express an expectation that tiny docked tail should be wagging the entire dog, not only of their nation but the US as well. Doesn't that seem a bit presumptuous?

And, note in the rant of the video clip that there is no mention of Muslims attacking Muslims. There is no indication of recognition that Sunni against Shi'a violence is a major part of their problem. There is not the slightest indication of repudiation of terrorism or fundamentalism. Nope. It is about Obama and the very clear implication that he should be doing something for them.

Frankly, Mohammed, it isn't in his or our interest to save you folks from yourselves. Start by some sweeping and dusting in our own domicile and then maybe we can talk about paving the street out front.
