I know you are supposed to post links and all from important people that know all the big words but here is my opinion of the situation...for what it's worth.
I wonder if Obama is naive enough that he has no clue that not everyone in the world thinks like we do. He has little experience as the leader of anything..and what little 'leading' he did was as a community organizer...
when I saw him last week talking about the "robust debate" going on in Iran. I wonder if he just doesnt' understand this is Iran...not Chicago. Talk about our police all you want to, they are not going to do a Tineneman Square on American citizens...the Iranians will.
I think he believes that the street protests over there are like the marchs here...they are not nearly as tolerant as we are to dissent.
and maybe this is what is behind him wanting to give Miranda rights to foreign combatants..he doesnt' 'get' that the rest of the world does not think like westerners.
