Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former Secretary of State under President Peanut Farmer and now a foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama, has trundled off to Syria to meet with Basher Assad, the delightful, terrorist-enabling leader of that pariah of a country (well, a pariah to everyone except for the naive/idiotic members of the American left, who seem to be clamoring at the gates for the opportunity to be photographed with the chinless wonder): http://www.nysun.com/article/71123. Martin Peretz of the New Republic speculates that Brzezinski is actually there to meet with the even more odious Khaled Mashal, the leader of Hamas and a certifiable anti-Semite of the first order: http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_spine/archive/2008/02/12/zbignew-brzezinski-is-in-damascus-to-see-bashar-assad-i-believe-he-s-there-to-meet-with-khaled-mashal.aspx.
Either way, does this look good for Obama? If you are a supporter of Israel, can you really, in your heart of hearts, also support Mr. Obama's presidential campaign?
UPDATE (10:58 a.m.): Blogger extraordinaire George Roper notes that there is a website out there called "Muslims for Barack Obama", and they have several "demands" for the aspiring President:
http://www.muslimsforobama08.com/issues.html.
1. A Law against harrassment of a Muslim women wearing Hijab at the Airport, DMV and other public arenas.
2. Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take a hours off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.
3. Make the 2 Eid's, recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.
4. Optional Halal meals in federal buildiings, public schools and colleges.
5. Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)
6. Organize a Muslim American group to assist in recommendations for US foreign policy affecting majority Muslim countries.
George's response can be found on his blog, www.gmroper.mu.nu. They are excellent.
