This is moving amazingly fast.
As Bush/McCain start attacks already at Barack Obama and from foreign soil. Barack responds and we are suddenly immersed in one of the great themes of Obama’s philosophy; That we need to talk to people we are not getting along with, and on a level that means something.
The Bush/McCain direction of confrontation, bullying if I can put it bluntly, their way around the world and demanding people do things their way or “we won’t even talk to you” is so wrong.
Obama seems to be willing to address the leaders of the world as an equal, with big guns, no less, but as an equal rather than as the “King of the World”, an image that GWB has somehow managed to obtain. We are, after all, only 1/20, yes, that is only 5% of the population of the world.
In these days, we need a leader who thinks and understands GLOBALLY!
Only by communicating with and understanding the views of our adversaries are we able to work out our problems without blowing each other to smithereens!
Obama is the only one.
It will be interesting to watch this debate on "World Vision" unfold.
