Yet quite thought-provoking.
By Weekly Standard columnist, Rachel Abrams:
[M]r. Obama's efforts to force engagement down the throats of our enemies continue apace. If the livers of these various imprisoners and slaughterers of freedom-seeking human beings are producing bile rather than foie gras as a result, well, we have "different political systems" at "different stages of development". Decades of U.S. policy are nibbled away or jettisoned altogether to reestablish relations with the penal colony that goes by the name of the Republic of Cuba, and yet Fidel doesn't phone or even write—he arrests a State Department contractor who's down there doing humanitarian work and throws him into one of Cuba's notorious prisons, where he languishes still, more than a month later. The president of Communist China munches on lobster and ribeye in the real peoples' house, and smiles benignly as his pianist countryman Lang Lang subjects the U.S. president—and through him the American people—to a sneering act of anti-Americanism.
And then there's the Iranian answer to our velvet-glove throwdown: On the eve of the latest round of nuclear negotiations, the State Department mouthpiece announces that "we are committed to holding Iran accountable to its international obligations, and will continue to do so until Iran takes tangible steps to resolve international concerns with its nuclear program." Scary—if you're Finland, maybe, but probably not even the Finns take us very seriously any more.
