Has Romney ever been to an Arab or Muslim country?

Apparently the latest thing, after they resorted to burning Christians homes and churches, is the new crucifixion on trees naked in front of the president's palace. Does that sound like "democracy" to you? Are you insane? NO, it's the sharia law everybody knew would take over if Obama and Hillary kicked Mumbarack out.

Are you seriously arguing that the U.S. should be in the business of propping up dictators?

This is a very bigoted statement. You are a discredit to whatever religion you claim to follow.

I don't know the answer, but I would bet a large amount of money that Mitt has been to Saudi Arabia, whether on Bain or horse-related business.

Hi Sarah Palin. This must be you, for only you Sarah can make an argument like this.

I travelled to Iraq during Saddam's rule with a US Senator. We had very little security, we stayed at expensive hotels, and had a schedule full of meetings with statesmen, fancy dinners and the like. I can assure you that the Senator heard views not normally expressed at home. In addition, while some preconceived notions were confirmed (sadly in most cases), others were shown to be wrong. I think even Romney would gain considerably from visiting an Arab country.

Orrin Hatch?

No. It was a Democrat. But, I don't want to reveal his identity since the trip has previously caused him trouble.

We are witnessing the rise of radical islam into leadership all over the middle east and B O unwittingly aided it with the "Arab spring" that was not in our interest. Now Cairo is anti-American after his stupid speech there. We were much better off under Bush , whose administration was more open to reality. Radical Islam is intent on domination and willing to end life as we know it if they don't get their way. They are on the verge of nuclear capability in Iran and they will use terror to plant bombs and blackmail compliance. A nuclear strike on Iran will be the only thing that may save our way of life.

So you're only in favor of democracy and equal rights for Westerners? Wow.

Are you surprised? The argument du jour from the right wing is that Quaddafi and other Middle East dictators were, in addition to keeping their people poor and ignorant, containing religious extremism. And while this may in fact be a fair point, it doesn't make the double-standard palatable or justified.

The newly elected Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt, aside from calling on all Arabs to rebel against the U.S. these past few days ("peacefully" ), has made it known that it expects all Christians to convert to Islam, pay a fine, or leave the country.

This is all false. I hate the MB, and there is definitely conflict between Muslims and Copts, but none of what you've posted is true. Especially the crucifixion hoax.

Off the top of my head- Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia. I feel like there are a few more but I'm blanking right now.

17:33, I had a horrible migraine, but after reading your posting, I laughed so hard that it is gone. Grateful for you to cite ONE example of President Obama apologizing. I think every fact checking site gives four pinocchios to that failed meme.

You morons were the same ones arguing that he was "dithering" for not acting fast enough in Libya. That was back when you thought that Arab Spring was a bush victory. You are a bunch of intellectually inconsistent flip floppers with no integrity. Fortunately your posts have not been erased so we can see the hypocrisy any time we want to.
