So here's the score: the French stepped up to the plate. (Remember how we used to mock them? "Ah, the French!" we would giggle. "Always there when they need us!") The British of course stepped up to the plate. Heck, the Arab League stepped up to the plate. And even the United Nations Security Council stepped up to the plate, albeit with five abstentions. As for the most powerful man in the world, the forty-fourth president of the United States--well, Mr Obama skipped off to Brazil. Only then (and evidently only after he was prodded by Hillary Clinton) did he let it be known that he was, after all, in support of hard measures in Libya.
If there has been a more contemptible performance by an American president in the past hundred years, I can't think of what it could possibly be. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
