Obama on Iranian brutality against protesters--truly pathetic, inadequate

"It does seem odd that Obama is willing to tell certain Israelis that they cannot build homes for their families, even as his respect for Iranian sovereignty makes him too bashful to talk about basic questions of human rights except in the most general terms...
"For example, no American president made more progress in negotiating with the Soviet Union than President Reagan did. And no American president was as aggressive in his criticism of the Soviet regime."

"Across a broad swath of the political spectrum--including just about everyone, really, except the far Left, slavish Obamaphiles and the sinister Ron Paul--a consensus has developed that Barack Obama was wrong-footed by the Iranian election and the ensuing revolt in that country. True, Obama's most devoted followers are still covering for him, like the Associated Press: "Obama holds to measured course on unrest in Iran." But most Americans think that Obama has let us, and freedom-loving Iranians, down."

"What, then, is preventing Obama from supporting not just the protesters' right to assemble and speak, but also their broader aspirations -- the ones that cause them to assemble and about which they are speaking; the ones that can only be fulfilled through regime change? "
