Washington, USA: US Presidential candidate Barack Obama announced yetserday that he would appoint Marc Lynch as ambassador to Iraq if he was elected President. Marc Lynch, the self-proclaimed Middle Eastern expert is an Obama supporter because he feels guilty that he is an affluent white man living in a country that has done so much wrong to black Americans.
Lynch told his readers in a recent blog entry that he thinks of himself as a latter-day Lawrence of Arabia, a statement that apparently touched Obama to the point where he immediately declared, "I wanna meet this orientalist."
Upon hearing the news that he would become ambassador to Iraq in an Obama administration, Lynch announced that he would convert to Islam (to impress his boss-to-be) and plans to change his blog title from Abu Aarvark to Abu Kharoof. Lynch also plans to learn Arabic as he is mindful that stating that one speaks Arabic is not the same as actually speaking it.
