Thus The Economist today about Barack Obama’s recent speech at the United Nations. “The president addressed multiple audiences at the UN,” the newspaper elaborates, “but probably not violent Muslim protesters.” Very well put. As soon as I read these words, I felt kind of proud of my erstwhile favorite read. The film makers who spawned the offensive footage that caused rioting across the Muslim world could be happy to get Obama’s personal protection, but the real problem was pushed under the proverbial rug. It will fester, to be sure. And especially because the jerks now appear to have the American president’s blessing. “Hey,” one can almost hear them shouting, “let’s try to come up with something even better!” Muhammad is a sure bet, but there are other opportunities galore. And it is all a question of rights. Jerks’ rights, as the mighty newspaper rightly put it.
