Yesterday Wall Street Journal front page featured a story about the upcoming Iran's Presidential election, (which actually took place yesterday). I guess that many Americans are surprised to know that there IS an election in Iran, no matter how imperfect it may be, whereas there is NONE in Egypt or Saudi. Yet Bush administration is calling Iran one of the axis of evil nations, and Egypt and Saudi allies. Are we truly promoting democracy around the world, or what? Do we really mean what we say?
Several weeks after the brutal killings in Uzbekistan, the US government seems to be very reticent about the whole incidence. Aren't we supposed to protect freedom around the world?
No wonder people around the world are cynical about the lofty ideals promoted by US foreign policy.
