So here is how our president decides on the fate of nations.
1. You can overthrow Muslim regimes in nations like Egypt, where Obama told President Hosni Mubarak to "leave now" in February of 2011.
But:
... if you tell Brother Morsi to "leave now" today, that's a profound violation of democratic principles.
2. You can invade Libya with no provocation, and start a civil war against Moammar Gaddafi, without even checking with the U.S. Congress.
But:
You're not allowed to overthrow the nuke-happy mullahs in Tehran, no matter how often they threaten to destroy their neighbors -- not just Israel and America, but also the Arab Gulf regimes.
3. In 2011 you can celebrate the authentic people's revolution in Tahrir Square as it is twitter-mobbed by one Google Vice President Walid Ghoneim, from a safe loft in New York City. That Tahrir demonstration proved that the authentic people of Egypt rejected Mubarak.
But:
In 2013 you can't celebrate another tweeted people's revolution in Tahrir Square because it violates true democratic principles.
And, needless to say, you couldn't possibly celebrate the young people of Iran's Green Revolution, even if they are fighting the moral monsters of mullahdom.
But wait -- there's more!
4. You can fight al-Qaeda by killing Osama bin Laden, and the media will celebrate your victory.
But:
It's okay to arm and train al-Qaeda in Syria, where they are killing Assad's troops and any Christians they happen to run across.
5. You can direct Predator assassinations at Taliban killers in Afghanistan, the worst reactionary throwbacks in the modern world.
But:
You have to sabotage Afghanistan's elected President Karzai to negotiate a "peace" settlement with those very same Taliban, as Obama is doing even now.
Get it?
I don't.
Where's the logic? Where is the coherence? Where is the strategic purpose? Is it just to stir up trouble in Muslim nations on the chance that Obama can manipulate the outcome? Is this revolution for its own sake?
Dare I ask, where is the moral core of this administration?
