Quote of the Day: Obama's Response to Iran -- "Diplomatic In the Worst Sense"

This is from an editorial in the left-leaning Nation:
The president says he entertains "deep concerns about the election" in Iran. Well, who doesn't? Expressing concern is "nice," it's "diplomatic"--in the worst sense--but it is not sufficient to the circumstance...

By every measure, the US president's response has been less than that of other world leaders, especially French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has branded the announced election "result" a fraud and bluntly decried the government's clampdown on dissent "brutal," "totally disproportionate" and "extremely alarming."

Read the whole thing. Hmmm, are we all neocons now?

It's a sad day when I look to the French for courage and leadership.
