The Pitfalls of 'Splitting the Middle' in the Middle East ยป
Shadi Hamid nails it:
When both sides are equally right (or wrong), seeking compromise may be both appropriate and effective. But when one side is in the right - in this case, that of the courageous Arab protesters fighting for their freedom - the middle ground can be a dangerous place to be.
Prez is a pro at calling people out:
“I did not appreciate what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle during the congressional hearings into this matter,” the president said after meeting with Cabinet members to discuss the situation. “You had executives of BP and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else. The American people could not have been impressed with that display, and I certainly wasn’t.”
I would join this protest.
