This one says he needs to bone up on his US history though...

And probably wouldn't hurt to him to look up what he is spending trillions of dollars for either. Cause unless the speech writer's have confused things, this was exactly the reason (or at least their excuse) for our involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, (Iran - you're next!), and most likely, Syria.

At time, the conflicts arise along the fault lines of race or tribe, and often they arise from the difficulties of reconciling tradition and faith with the diversity and interdependence of the modern world. In every country, there are those who find different religious beliefs threatening. In every culture, those who love freedom for themselves must ask themselves how much they're willing to tolerate freedom for others.

That's America in a nutshell.

Kudos to the internet, google, facebook, twitter - the Arab Spring could not have happened without them. Amazing.
