He was constrainedBy: avinash mulye | Sunday , 7 Jun '09 5:54:03 AM Reply | Forward I think the president was constrained too much. They forewarned him not to lecture them. They are absolutely UNWILLING to listen to anyone who wants to tell them the truth. A sense of denial prevails pervasively in middle east.Who will tell them that whatever they have been doing in and against Israel is brutal too.
