What a shame someone can’t hack his teleprompter and get these unambiguous words President Bush spoke in February 2006 inserted into Obama’s teleprompter:PRESIDENT BUSH: Iran is a nation held hostage by a small clerical elite that is isolating and repressing its people, and denying them basic liberties and human rights. The Iranian regime sponsors terrorists and is actively working to expand its influence in the region. (…) as we confront Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions, we’re also reaching out to the Iranian people to support their desire to be free; to build a free, democratic, and transparent society.Bush’s speech is a reminder that a real leader speaks the truth without apology!To support the Iranian people’s efforts to win their own freedom, my administration is requesting $75 million in emergency funds to support democracy in Iran. This is more than a fourfold increase over current levels of funding. These new funds will allow us to expand radio and television broadcasts into Iran (…) so Iranians can organize and challenge the repressive policies of the clerical regime(…) By supporting democratic change in Iran, we will hasten the day when the people of Iran can determine their own future and be free to choose their own leaders. Freedom in the Middle East requires freedom for the Iranian people, and America looks forward to the day when our nation can be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran.
I don’t see any political downside to 0bama ignoring this issue. It’s hard to take a stand, easy to criticize, and easiest of all to hesitate to do either. Particularly for a moral relativist like 0bama, to whom it comes naturally. He votes present, strikes a thoughtful pose, and his adoring followers write another chapter about his godlike faineance.
“In other words, multicultural foreign policy is a sophisticated and politically-correct version of the old, far more intellectually honest realist notion that we let the bastards do what they want to their own people, and then deal with the thug that emerges in the real world of mutual self-interest.”
There’s the money quote: Hansen gets it - “sophisticated” is code for “intellectually dishonest person who’s not willing to stand on principle”.
