The right-wing claim that Obama has mishandled the Arab Spring is based on the idiotic idea that any president could have "handled" it.

Reagan had sense enough to pull the hell out of Beirut, and Putin is still licking his wounds over his defeated superpowers misguided adventure there. Is it possible that if the US stopped administering drone strikes on their sovereign ground, they might refrain from attacks on embassy sovereign territory as well? What do the innocent citizens there think of a President who declares a license to assassinate their people, at will, with no due process? What would we think of their leader chasing us down with drones on the freeways of LA or Dallas?

Would we be meddling in their affairs if they had no oil? Oops!; September 16, 2012 at 1:35 AM
