Obama The Peacemaker: Bombing Five Plus Countries
Roanoke Times, 6-12-11, Pg Horiz 3: Tough role for the peacekeeper “Obama”
-
A limited and partial view of the military and violent hot-spots in the world with large cartoon of Obama with palm branch.

Obama the Peacekeeper? Obama is ‘openly’ bombing people in: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Yemen and most likely he’s bombing several others in Africa.
The Syrians are slaughtering their protesters in large numbers along their Turkey border, certainly an opportunity for more US bombing-drones. Clearly there is war by any reasonable definition when one country bombs people in another country.
-
In our entire history we have never been at ‘war’ with so many entities and the sound of silence from the liberals, left-wingers and peace-nicks is defending. After eight years of intense media hype about “Bush The War-monger”, one wonders where all those noisy, intense, protesting folks with their righteous indignation all went? Where’s Cindy Sheehan and all her fellow-travelers? Where are the liberal media editorials?
-
The media should not include Obama and Peacemaker in the same sentence, even the same paragraph, for sure not in the same headline.
