The American Bear

In two headlines:

Peres in meeting with Panetta: Iran must not be allowed to fulfill imperialistic ambitions | Haaretz

In joint appearance with Peres in Washington, Clinton condemns Syria for using attack helicopters to quash uprising | Haaretz

The moral high ground to make either of these statements has been lost. By the leaders of both countries.

Iran? Imperial? Coming from the U.S. and the neo-colonial Israel?

And no. I don’t support Assad.
