*Meek Prez Rolls Over and Lets Fanatics Set the Agenda, by Amir Taheri.
“Obama’s “address to the Muslim world” was a masterwork of equivocation and political naiveté.”
*The Age of Middle East Atonement, by Victor Davis Hanson.
“President Obama’s intent is noble, but therapeutic efforts to disguise the truth never really work. We will see how the short-term good created by his therapeutic speechmaking compares to the long-term harm caused by telling the Muslim world, once again, that its problems were largely created by us — and, therefore, that we are largely responsible for providing the remedies.”
*Making Believe, by Andrew McCarthy.
*Obama In Cairo, Now What? At NRO.
“His assertion that Islam and America are compatible is either an exaggeration or a prediction. At present Islam is simply not fully compatible with the liberty that defines America politically.”
*The Arab World Reacts, by Salemeh Nematt.
*Barack Hussein Bush, at the WSJ.
“Abstract, Vapid, and Self Absorbed.”
*The Prism of Obama, by Jonah Goldberg.

*Diplomacy of Wishful Thinking, by Mona Charen.
*The Inner Muslim at Work in Cairo, by Wesley Pruden.
“The great Cairo grovel accomplished nothing beyond the humiliation of the president and the embarrassment of his constituents, few of whom share his need to put America on its knees before its enemies. No president before him has ever shamed us so. We must never forget it.”
