President Obama, please interfere in the Revolution in the Middle East

The United States has a sad history of not supporting cries of freedom:

Hungarian Uprising
Czech Spring
Cry Freedom
Tiananmen Square
Tehran protests

In all these cases, if the American president had made a public statement of firm support, not to mention military forces and perhaps a carrier battle group or whatever, the geopolitical map of the world today might be very different and much better.

North Africa and the Middle East are in the midst of a genuine metamorphosis. What will result is very different from exists today. If this totalitarian part of the world is to become a place where freedom and liberty rule, the US and the President must get involved and interfere into what might seem to be a local, internal affair.

You might accuse the President of being a pacifist. Perhaps true, but he certainly would not be the first so. There has always been reluctance to interfere: viz, the Shah, the overthrow of the president of South Vietnam, and Iraq to name just three, because the results are not always positive.

In the present case, the need is all the stronger, because there is a malevolent force already interfering (even if we do not): Iran and radical Islam, and, indirectly, China.

However, if we are to remain a beacon of freedom and liberty for all mankind, we owe it to all those who cry ‘freedom’ to interfere, even if we end up with a bloody nose, regardless of who pumps the oil.
