Be careful Obama!

It is understood that American presidential candidate Barak Obama’s tour-– which essentially includes the hot spots in Afghanistan, Iraq and occupied Palestine, to say nothing of Europe-–is first rate.

With this exploratory tour, the Democratic candidate intends to broaden his perception regarding the most prominent issues with which American foreign policy is concerned, and around which the current American administration’s follies are central to producing tension, fighting, and attacks.

Obama is taking great pains to distinguish himself and his politics (which may lead him to become the next American president) from the current administration. He does not refrain from accusing it of perpetrating grave mistakes in the sum of both its foreign and domestic politics. It is required of him, in not word but deed, to possess sufficient courage and to seek out suitable advisors for forming a close region and bringing justice to the region’s issues which the Bush administration has strongly injured by overlooking any efforts to lighten tensions and bring an end to burning problems during its time.

Undoubtedly, these policies place a heavy burden on any future American president, and make the gravity of fixing them all the more difficult. But perhaps the first step to close off the negative effects of those policies is to leave behind the crooked logic clung to by the Bush administration that authorizes might and the use of force, isolation, and unilateral action as a method for dealing with the complicated problems of nations, and instead head towards an American role as participant in solutions to anchor peace and stability in the region and the world.

Obama must be careful to not go too far in expressing a position intended to please, with explanations motivated by votes, like those expressed before the conference of a group of Jewish lobbyists, AIPAC, and exceeding in his support for Israel the position of the current administration which is especially devoted to the outcome of an occupied Jerusalem. That folly, just as much as the complicated issues, will shape conditions for any new policies that Obama lays out for the region if he reaches the White House.
