| The statements made by the Palestinians that they hope Obama will continue Bush`s policy show that they do not get it. This election was about change and the most urgent priority for change is to end America`s dependence on oil by finding more reliable and less destructive sources of energy. US-Israeli cooperation will be essential for this and will create a new situation for the Arabs: if they want to be part of the new world they will have to end their conflict with Israel. It is up to them. Obama`s America is not going to do it for them. Unlike Bush, Obama is not closely connected with oil companies. |
