President Obama, say the 'D-Word' - Opinion - Al Jazeera English

We as a country and a culture have a once in a lifetime opportunity to support Democracy globally. One way or another, change is going to come. Either we are going to be a part of this movement as a positive force and partner for change or we will be on the outside again as the enablers of Totalitarian regimes. Remember Iran? We lost them for decades and missed an opportunity just this last year. People are dying for their freedom and where is the United States? Making speeches...

Unfortunately, President Obama is a pure Politician and not a Statesman or Leader. His aim is to avoid controversy and commitment. Most people believe this is some kind of intelligent strategy but it is just more evidence as to why our country is mired in division and cannot progress due to his lack of fortitude.

The great multitude of people in this country want Freedom for all and believe in Democracy to prevail. The courage to allow it to happen and to incur the associated risks is another level altogether. We should have been an agent for change in this region years and years ago and now we sit and watch and make speeches and threats of stopping aid... It is very much too little, too late. If the region does go to the Muslim Brotherhood then that was decided many years ago by the West's support of Mubarek.

We took the easy way out of laziness and greed and now we are going to take the hard for the same reason.
