Title:The Rightists Sound Out of Step Out of Time

Given the enlightemed tone of President Obama`s speech this morning, it just makes the far rightists and various terrorist groups sound incredibly out of step with a new reality. It was easy to hate Bush/America but now it`s not so easy eh. I wonder if Bibi has the courage to join the President and others of good will around the world or will he remain stuck in the failures of the past. Ironically the left in Israel is all but dead but perhaps it is irrelevant at this point. Maybe we are all beyond labels and are alike in our desire to end the conflict between Israel and the Arabs once and for all. I am starting to hope again.
