Coincidence?
“OK, let me see if I’ve got this right. Since Barack Obama has taken the presidential oath of office we have witnessed:
a) Hezbollah lose a shoo-in election in Lebanon
b) Pakistan begin serious efforts to control the Taliban and al Qaeda elements inside its borders,
c) Netanyahu of Israel mumble support about a two state solution and rethink settlements and,
d) A major awakening of the Iranian citizenry against the heavy-handedness of the mullahs.
What hasn’t changed? The simple-minded thuggery of the Right when it comes to foreign policy (and Grover Norquist, someone should gently remind him that it’s 2009, not 1989). They have long preferred a modified Teddy Roosevelt approach. Speak loudly and wail away with the biggest stick you can find. I don’t know if all this is the results of one speech in Cairo by the President but if it is I hope he gives a second, and soon,” – Carl Owen, Politico (via Andrew Sullivan)
