* U.S. as "neutral"mediator?

With all his speaking engagements recently, Mitt Romney seems to be gearing himself in place to run in the 2012 Republican primaries. He gave a speech to the Young America's Foundation on Friday. The majority of his remarks were criticisms of President Obama and his policies. "Obama has taken a dramatic departure from the U.S. foreign policy that has existed for last 60 years. His policy has taken a step back from America's values, in order to become a neutral player. In effort to be neutral he has stiff-armed our friends and drawn closer to our enemies."


Tell us Mr Romney...What is wrong with being "neutral"? The international community has always perceived the U.S. as "one-sided," especially when it comes to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It's one of the main reasons for the anger towards the U.S.... enough anger to want to wage terrorist attacks against the U.S. In fact, in Osama bin Laden's "supposed tape" he made after 9/11, he did NOT mention jealousy of our freedoms. He mentioned the obvious one-sided, non-neutral commitment this country has with Israel. If that's the case, how can the U.S. be expected to be a fair mediator in ANY peace talks?
