Somewhat funny, Victor David Hanson illustrates something about The Dear Leader that botehrs me: why is he always apologizing to varying degrees of dictators for American mistakes? That is a passive action, somewhat, but the far more troubling actions are supporting the attempted coup in Honduras (there is much wordplay regarding who was coup'ng what, but TDL fell on the side of supporting the former Honduran president's non-existent right to alter the nation's constitution while defying its congress and supreme court) while ignoring the Statist action in Iran. It can - and will - only get worse. From Hanson:

How strange that our rather nondescript, sober friends abroad do not garner attention from the current administration, yet overt enemies in Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran, Venezuela, and the West Bank most certainly do. Is there some covert code of conduct known to these dictators that allows them to win a pass from supposedly liberal Americans, who profess to value human rights, religious tolerance, and consensual government?
