Hillary On Syria

A telling exchange from a Goldblog interview:

JG: Would you be sad if [Assad's] regime disappeared?

HRC: It depends upon what replaces it.

Funny how she never took that view on Libya, isn't it? The lesson the Arab dictatorships have learned is that if you go house-to-house and detain and torture dissidents, the West will look away. If you take tanks into urban areas and shell civilians … oh, wait! That analogy won't work either.
