In an interview with Al-Arabiya, President Obama declared to the Muslim world, "Americans are not your enemy." The President went on to reiterate his desire to talk directly with Iran. Fat lot of good that will do.
The New York Times praised the Obama interview noting that he "struck a conciliatory tone toward the Islamic world." (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/world/middleeast/28arabiya.html)
Um, I seem to recall President Bush calling Islam "a religion of peace."
Does the New York Times consider that statement insufficiently conciliatory?
