Jerusalem is Israel's capital, says Donald Trump

[SueEllen]

I thought his speech was superb, unfashionable as it may be to say I think he sounded properly presidential. Apart from it being the right thing to do. Credit where credit's due.

The right thing to do if you want to increase conflict in the Middle East.

Sometimes saying and doing nothing is the best option.

The "right thing to do"? I'd love to hear how you come to that conclusion if you don't mind sharing your thoughts.

thanks in advance

Leaving my own political views aside, the US Congress acknowledged this 20 years ago, it was part Trump's manifesto, ergo he did what he promised - the right thing to do. Nice to see a politician keeping their word for a change.

It is quite a shock for many when politicians deliver what they promised they would.

It doesn't matter which side you support, you have to respect people for delivering what they promised on; I've had respect for Maggie and John Smith in the past, and I wholeheartedly believe the latter would have made a far, far better Prime Minister than Tony Blair.

I imagine there were quite a few Germans wandering around the rubble of Berlin in 1945 bemoaning about the government not following through on the will of the people.

Delivering what you promise if it causes more conflict in an area and more people to suffer is not the right thing to do.

Just because things seem clear as a theory it does not mean they are viable in practice.
