I’ve read a few bloggers who complain that Obama’s relative silence is “cowardly” or that there is too much emphasis on “realpolitik” and he’s just waiting to see who triumphs and then he’ll embrace him. Nonsense. This man knows that he is not the story here. And what’s more, he doesn’t need to say anything about his positions on Iran, because he already went to the Middle East and said it beforehand. His few comments expressing support for Iranian self-determination and their right to peaceful dissent – found here – were entirely appropriate and certainly speak for me.
