Resistance through violence and killing is wrong and does not succeed.

Wrong is a moral judgment but he is lying, violence and killing has succeeding many times throughout history to accomplish political goals. Nice try though ...

I am not too impressed. He makes himself look good but where is the big stick to make the different sides behave? Being good and being morally right is not the same thing as being EFFECTIVE.

Osama quotes the Koran as saying that "whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind." With his penchant for ordering the drone attacks that regularly hit Afghani wedding parties and kill hundreds of innocents, I'm not sure he picked the perfect quote from the Koran to further his agenda.

Posters discuss sporting events, business and travel topics that are not always related to Thailand. What can't politics be discussed?

BULLETIN -- BIN LADEN SAYS TO PREPARE FOR A "LONG WAR" AGAINST "INFIDELS" AND THEIR AGENTS

Why do mad or crazy people have so much influence on worlds views !!!!

From Bin Laden to the Far right in the US - They want to drag the world into WW3

Obama says all religions stress, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Let's hope the Muslims don't take that literally and think that Americans want them to come over to America and attack wedding celebrations with drone aircraft.

It was a powerful speech with a lot of wisdom challenging both sides.

He did scarily refer to the 3 great religions seemingly leaving out the many other great religions and those who choose no religion. Typical American pabble on this regard.
