Those people needed to know they were being heard and he was silent.
Way to go.

i'd rather you answer my questions. show me where i'm incorrect in my thinking.
if we go and support democracy, and the muslim brotherhood is elected by the majority, would you feel that we succeeded? because pointman says we should support democracy, but then lists the two cases where elections were held, and complains about who was voted in. that's not logical.
and, no, obama is NOT the leader of the free world. he's the president of the u.s.
we can't say we are supporters of democracy. look at mubarek in the early stages of the egypt uprising. look at bahrain. two examples where our foreign policy doesn't match our supposed ideals. look at our support, for years, for saddam hussein. that didn't square with our 'mission statement' either.
i'd say much of our foreign policy is based on the same thing as our domestic.
follow the money.
