Quote of the Day

From Andy McCarthy on Obama's speech in Cairo:

Yesterday, President Obama said the foundation of his engagement policy with Iran is that "we are willing to move forward without preconditions on the basis of mutual respect." Does there ever come a point, say, after about 30 years of hostage-taking, terror-mongering, bombing American Air Force personnel, killing American troops in Iraq, harboring al-Qaeda, abetting the Taliban, underwriting Hezbollah and Hamas, threatening to wipe Israel off the map, and chanting "Death to America," when we entertain the possibility that maybe, just maybe, there's a teensy-weensy chance that the "respect" here isn't exactly "mutual"?
