The world waits with baited breath for yet another strongly worded statement from President Obama.
Do you notice how we’ve got two long-serving brutes – Egypt’s Mubarak and Syria’s Assad – one of them (Mubarak) was allied with us while the other (Assad) is allied with Iran. We were quick off the mark in calling for Mubarak to step down, still haven’t called on Assad to step down. Its almost like you’re best bet in 2011 is to be an enemy of the United States. Even if we do make a move towards you (as in Libya) we won’t move all the way.
US policy, at the moment, could not be better scripted to help tyrants in general and Iran in particular.
