SAY WHAT?

I only heard part of el Presidente's Libya speech tonight. Managed to miss this little gem:

To brush aside America's responsibility as a leader and - more profoundly - our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances, would have been a betrayal of who we are.

Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries.

The United States of America is different. And as President, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action.

Well, some images of slaughter are more action-making than others, I guess.

And it is all about image, isn't it?


So glad the President was able to exercise a bit more patience rather than meddle in Iran's internal affairs, while this woman bled out on the streets of Tehran.



By the way, Mr. Obama...
