was afraid the ME violence might turn the election - but no longer

[colfax]

I was afraid this morning as I saw a map on TV of scores of spots of new protests in the ME , that all these troubles might kindle public demand for a leader who bristles.

As I watched the news, however, I could tell the American public preferred Obama's cool, thoughtful approach to these problems over the knee-jerk, premature, reaction by Romney to the situation.

This country once followed leadership with a knee-jerk reaction to problems, but they are not too anxious to repeat those days which brought us the Iraq War.

Thus Obama is okay and even more flare-ups in the ME will only strengthen his hand.

The flickering hope of you GOPpers has been extinguished

On target. A time for cool heads. The middle east is a powder keg just itching to be sparked. There is enough militants to muster a huge army IF they all had the same objectives.
But there is one that does bring them together; religion. I think if the general public was polled tomorrow regarding our hawkish behavior of the past decade they'd turn thumbs down on an act of war.

The madness has to stop somewhere. I know it's tempting to want to respond to attacks that take lives but when you place thousands of lives on the line as retialiation it's lunacy.

OH, THANK GOD. I am with you. I thought that maybe the death of those four in Benghazi might spill onto the Obama administration as well. But Obama seems fine, so no need for concern.
