You Cannot Reform a Totalitarian (You’ve Got to Defeat Him)
Michael,
Interesting take on Obama. Although I agree with you that his instincts run towards totalitarianism, I think you give him far too much credit regarding his abysmal failure to stand up for freedom and justice in Iran. I really think Obama’s primary failure is and has always been an inability to make moral distinctions. He really believes, I think, that the United States is a great source of evil in the world and that the Iranian regime is no worse, perhaps even better, than we are. Hence, he is simply incapable of articulating a moral vision. He is blind, Michael, and not particularly bright either.
