Today (20 March 2013) Obama made his first visit to the State of Israel. This is his first visit to Israel as a President. He was received by His Excellency. The Prime Minister of Israel - Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu and by the President of Israel - Shimon Peres. Condition in the middle east is worsening day-by-day. Thousands killed in Syria, Iran's nuclear threat etc - Obama will be addressing these issues during his stay. He will be also visiting the Palastinian Authority during his stay.In a region of high-instability Israel is the only TRUE DEMOCRATIC Nation. Egypt tried implementing Democracy - but till date several internal cum political issues are face in the nation.Israel - Truly God's own country.

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 250)

"It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. Nice quote, but go tell it to other countries who would see us dead, destroyed, or otherwise wiped off the face of the earth. To all of those nations that believe that their beliefs are the only ones and anyone else who belives differently than they do are to be destroyed. Hard to dish up a big love fest for those parts of the world. I just feel like breaking out in song, "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony....." And what is wrong with having pride in one's country? Granted the US has it's share of problems, but compared to many other parts of the world it's a pretty darn good place to live. Nothing wroung with learing to live and let live, but only if it works both ways.
