Au Contraire, Mon Ami . . . it is not I who is cynical

It is our beloved President who is the cynical one. If he were not so cynical, he would have come out on Iran the same way he did on Honduras, which is to say, with conviction. Many world leaders did that, including the somewhat more timid Europeans. But, we lagged behind, cautiously waiting to see which way the tear gas blew.

And yet, when the coup occurs in the Banana Republic of Honduras, there is an immediate reaction, as if the world will forget our non-reaction to the Iranian Government shooting its own citizens for peacefully demonstrating.

THAT is cynicism. I am just observing the pattern.
