A masterpiece, Vlad Tepes! Recommended that you play both of these clips at the same time to get the full impact of President Obama's message to the world.
"The world is less violent than it has ever been."

Yes! As we speak, the pro-Russian separatists have shot down a Ukrainian military plane killing 45 soldiers. The terrorists of ISIS have captured one third of Iraq and are preparing to march on Baghdad, Syria is still fighting its civil war with over 150,000 dead. They are all threatening to wipe out Israel, while Iran is ever closer to that nuke, Christians throughout the Middle East are running for their lives, our southern border has collapsed, and President Obama tells us not to worry.
Be happy.

Cynicism and happiness are now defined as antonyms in Gary's ESL classes?
The world is less violent than it has ever been...
Well, that is a low bar. The Hutu militia killed more fellow Hutu, let along Tutsi, than ISIS has killed to date in Syria and Iraq combined. I don't believe the killing fields of Cambodia have been exceeded yet either.
(Remember, it was Vietnamese communists who ended the horror in Cambodia... and it will be Iran that keeps ISIS contained, although the mullahs probably will be indifferent how many fellow Sunnis the jihadis kill).
