Not if you paid me. They're not only wrong, they're insane.
I'm asking YOU, JBK. What do you think Obama could be doing more to fight Islamic extremism? He's been more aggressive than Bush, in some ways. Drone strikes, the OBL raid, increased sanctions on Iran, cooled relationships with Pakistan...
The only thing Obama HASN'T done, that he could have, to try to fight extremism in the Muslim world, is to actively work against democratization and revolution in the Middle East during the Arab Spring. Yes, letting them pick their own governments, instead of again propping up unpopular repressive dictatorships in the region as we have been for generations, might mean that Islamist factions with popular support have an opportunity to gain elected office.
that. is. their. RIGHT. their right as human beings. If they can't be allowed to elect the Muslim Brotherhood, we can't be allowed to elect Bachmann, or Paul, or Santorum, or even Romney. Human rights are human rights.
