“Obama’s outreach to Muslim world teetering” |
|
Inter Press Service News Agency, November 3 2009 Jim Lobe here discusses the growing concern that President Obama’s promising beginnings in relation to U.S. foreign policy in the Greater Middle East are fading against the many tensions currently plaguing the U.S. relationship with Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and especially Afghanistan and Israel/Palestine. Lobe quotes Chas Freeman to argue that while in the U.S. few blame Obama for these, his image in the region is in danger of ‘sinking into the generally negative view of the U.S. government’. http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=49120
