The Tripartite Name

It goes without saying that Barack Obama, the American President-elect, stretched out his hand to the Islamic world and expressed his intentions to deliver a landmark speech in the capital of one Islamic country after assuming office on January 20th and also to take the oath of office under his tripartite name: Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama added in his declarations to the “Chicago Tribune”: “I think we still have the chance to improve the image of the U.S. in the eyes of the world, especially the Islamic one, and establish relationships based on mutual respect and cooperation with countries, aspiring to bring about progress and prosperity to their peoples and ours.”

And when he was asked about some political opponents calling him by his full name, hinting at his Muslim roots, Obama replied by saying that traditions make it incumbent to call the head of state by his tripartite name and he can not be an exception.

On the other hand, the-soon-to-be-former president George W. Bush defended, in his address to the West Point Military College in New York, the controversial and hostile policies he followed during his two terms. Bush claimed that these policies are a solid foundation for future presidents and military officials, and added that since assuming office, the U.S. army has grown stronger and more ready to face any imminent dangers.

Meanwhile, some American reliable sources assured that the new administration of the President-elect, Barack Hussein Obama shall consider the military subsidies granted to the countries of the region and the potential of establishing a regional nuclear parasol to confront the nuclear Iranian threat. But Israel showed its reservations regarding the generous offer, tackling the international efforts to end the Iranian nuclear program.
