To the editor:
Wow! Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to our Congress was a much needed show of leadership/passion/strength we haven't seen for six years. Calling Islamic terrorism like it is - I'm not afraid of you.
We, as Americans, have fallen asleep with President Barack Obama, laughed at around the world as a weak/unreliable country. Several of our former allies in the Middle East have stated, 'It seems like you can do better as an enemy of America, than an ally in the Middle East.”
And Obama immediately gets up in front of America, following the best speech we have heard in six years, and looks like a spoiled little brat - jealous of Netanyahu delivering a bring us together to defeat those who will kill us unless we bring take then out. Obama/liberal solution - let's sit around the campfire and sing kumbaya songs and negotiate. Right, let's negotiate with those that only want to kill all Americans/Jews/Christians as their only way to sit next to their Allah.
