It all caps an president , which when he touched downabia and to down to the muslim calling on all religions to step up in the fight against exeris of worship. Drive them out of community. In jerusalem and bethlehem, his message to the middle east, the u. S. Isnt here to judge. We arelecture. We are not here to tell other people who to what to be. How to worship.

The white house officials in previewing ahead of the trip that the president would Say Something about it could force an rearming of germany if they feel they cannot depend on the United States. I thought what he did was damaging to our relations with europe. I think the earlier part of the trip went better. I think what happened in europe was quite dangerous.
