In general dithering on global events will only signal indecisiveness and weakness on the part of the USA and the Obama administration.

As others have posted, the assumption that Obama’s agenda is aligned with freedom and promotion of democracy may be misplaced. Obama is no Ronald Reagan. Obama has his own agenda and it’s quite different than that of Ronald Reagan.

Lastly, beware of people like ‘reformist’ clerics that are able to spread taqiyya with impunity and moral authority. They too have their own agenda.
