Most every large group contains assholes and saints. We tend to define our own group by the latter and opposing groups by the former. |

| Iran and the prez |
[Jun. 19th, 2009|05:21 pm] |
I am so pleased that Obama is acting with restraint regarding Iran. It is so wonderful to have a president that seems to be considering the ramifications of his actions before taking them.
This is not a game. This is peoples' lives and futures. It's about fucking time we acted like that's the case.
It is the short sighted actions of the U.S. and its representatives that contributed in (large) part to the problems in that region. I hope that we can finally, FINALLY, get over our self-important need to constantly be the Wild West sheriff of the world. Our desire to preen and strut to show everyone how important we are. I hope that we can act in our own real, nuanced, long-term interests rather than to stroke our collective or individual egos.
There's plenty of people running around shouting their opinions about something they know little or nothing about. The president doesn't need to join them. |

Thanks! |
