It's all about perspective

But if your motivation is to suck up to an oppressive religious dictatorship, rather than show common cause with a struggle for democracy, I'm sure it was very good...

Unlike most of my comrades in the Zionist-neocon plot to take over the world, I did not think the Obamic statement on Iran was good. I didn’t even think it was good enough. Not good enough for our “international community” president to invoke the international community, again, speaking of “tired strategies”--or is that a tactic?--and wave its outrage like a white handkerchief at the Iranian regime; not good enough to deplore the “threats, the beatings and imprisonments,” as though they’ve been taking place in the vacuum “of the last few days” rather than playing out over the last few decades; not good enough to look at scenes of mayhem and murder and say, “The Iranian people are trying to have a debate about their future.”

I suppose then, that during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a meek, cowardly President could have declared that "The Jewish people are trying to have a debate about their future."

Perspective is something, context is everything. Perspective becomes obsolete in the information age.
