What I would like to hear in details of Obama's new deal with Arab World:
''If you're country has something we need, we'll buy it.

If an American company wants to drill your oil, that's between you and them. If they don't like the deal you are offering, we will not demonize your leaders, blame them for things they didn't do, foment a coup, or invade your country.

If you are asking a foolish price for what you have, market forces will let you know that, not the CIA or a shock and awe bombing of your kids' daycare center.

You have pretty much one product to sell and we are the number one buyers in the world. If you ask too much, we'll just have to build solar panels and wind turbines faster, won't we?

We believe that people who are free to conduct their own affairs and profit from their own natural resources will be more friendly and stable trading partners in the long run even if it does cut into oil companies profit margins in the short run.

We may disagree about religion, how to run a country, and sometimes have conflicting business interests, but that doesn't mean we can't live in peace.

Now about that Israel & Palestine business...''
