I don't think that Obama is a real muslim. Perhaps just sympathetic.

I think the most relevant word is 'Appeasement'
johndclare.net

I think Obama is going for "peace for our time".

And I think we should all read up on the Munich Agreement that was signed with Hitler as an act of appeasement.
en.wikipedia.org

Winston Churchill's response is the one that I like and that history seems to agree with:

Winston Churchill, denouncing the Agreement in the House of Commons:
"We have suffered a total and unmitigated defeat...you will find that in a period of time which may be measured by years, but may be measured by months, Czechoslovakia will be engulfed in the Nazi régime. We are in the presence of a disaster of the first magnitude...we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road...we have passed an awful milestone in our history, when the whole equilibrium of Europe has been deranged, and that the terrible words have for the time being been pronounced against the Western democracies: "Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting". And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.


I believe that Obama is in one way, our Neville Chamberlain.

(it looks like I am not the only one talking appeasement....just saw a reference to it on the PfP thread too.
