CAIRO — President Obama’s decision to deliver a speech here next month has given significant encouragement to a once powerful ally that has grown increasingly frustrated over its waning regional influence and its inability to explain to its citizens why it remains committed to a Middle East peace process that has failed to produce a better life for Palestinians.I borrowed the Associated Press Time Machine to gaze the occurrence. It went something like this:
"Ummmm...uh...America is sorry for kicking ass and taking hyphenated names over the last eight years. We were wrong to stand up to despotic, tyrannical and opressive leadership in your part of the world. However, my administration is dedicated to appeasement, looking the other way, and allowing your wonderful culture to go full tilt boar on anti-Semitic rants, terrorist agression, and antiquated bigotry. In return, I shall do the same in my own devine way.
We will celebrate our fruitful similarities together...
