Again we must ask, "Who is paying Andrew Sullivan for this garbage? A fool?"
It's in the magic of his face! Sullivan in December 2007 writes:"There is simply no other candidate with the potential of Obama to do this. Which is where his face comes in. Consider this hypothetical. It’s November 2008. A young Pakistani Muslim is watching television and sees that this man—Barack Hussein Obama—is the new face of America. In one simple image, America’s soft power has been ratcheted up not a notch, but a logarithm. A brown-skinned man whose father was an African, who grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, who attended a majority-Muslim school as a boy, is now the alleged enemy. If you wanted the crudest but most effective weapon against the demonization of America that fuels Islamist ideology, Obama’s face gets close. It proves them wrong about what America is in ways no words can." -- Andrew Sullivan - The Atlantic 12/07[Thanks to commenter Blastineau's Comment on AMERICAN DIGEST: Comment on The Obomber: First One's Always a Freebie]

Great idea. Next let's make an old white guy president, and end corporate crime.

This is just nuts. There are more MUSLIM victims of muslim jihad every year than there are non-muslim. Muslims don't care who you are or what you look like, the circle of purity extends only to the immediate circle of a jihadi's closest friends.

... is it in his face, (oh no it's just his charm)
In his warm embrace, (oh no that's just his arm)
If you wanna know, if he loves you so
It's in his kiss

A nice peice of projection from Mr. Sullivan. I'll give my own projection - the Pakistani sees another American and does not change his world view one iota.
Why should the young Pakistani change his world view at all? Neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki changed the world view of the Japanese Imperial Army until the emperor himself made the decision, and even that was a near-run thing.
