Obama Tells Muslims to Stop Blaming Israel

US President Barack Obama told the Muslim world that everything going wrong in the Middle East is not, in fact, Israel’s fault. Much of the blame lies on both sides of the issue, and Islamic nations must look at the situation with “balance”. In turn, he told Israelis to look at the conflict through the eyes of the Palestinians.

I think Obama’s perspective on the situation is a fresh way to look at things. I never heard Bush tell the Muslims to quit blaming Israel. It seems like Obama is trying to be more of a mediator than a director.
