I would like to parse that speech. I would like to know what you object to. There is a lot of what I would consider cultural rhetoric, religion, history and such. Underneath that I hear a faint suggestion that maybe being human bombs isn't the best alternative. Maybe being more self reliant and self respecting might prove to be a better alternative. It sounds more like a plea for moving into the 21st century and returning to the great civilization of the 10th, or 11th.

Speaking of Eleanor of Aquitaine's son like that seems a bit strange when you consider that in 1215 we have the Magna Charta. But I suppose it makes it easier to justify the emphasis on the Kurd Salidin.
1192: With The Peace of Ramla armistice agreement with King Richard 1 of England, the whole coast was defined as Christian land, while the city of Jerusalem remained under Muslim control.

And please can we stick to the speech.
