Basically: enough grovelling and man up.
But said more eloquently and with added bonus ACTUAL suggestions on what to do, which of course, will never be followed by the Obama administration:
"Those in the Arab street hate the West and America because they are
told daily that our supposed godlessness and decadence should not make
us so rich and powerful — especially when such pious believers as
themselves are so poor and impotent."
"But rather than addressing the real causes of their present misery —
tribalism, misogyny, statism, corruption, authoritarianism,
fundamentalism, and religious intolerance — amid rich natural resources,
Islamists scapegoat. Sometimes they fume at American support for
Israel, at other times at an obscure video, cartoon, or rumor of a
torched Koran."
"We only feed these adolescent tantrums when America wrongly
apologizes for the occasional insensitivity of a few of our citizens,
who enjoy free speech under the U.S. Constitution."
What can actually be done?
Here's a few good ideas:
"Start developing vast new oil and gas finds on public lands here at
home. Get our financial house in order. Quietly cut back aid to hostile
Middle East governments. Put travel off-limits. Restrict visas and call
home ambassadors — at least until Arab governments control their own
street mobs."
