Instapundit links to a story with one of his usual short comments: "Tough on Fiji, Soft on Iran" The point that both Reynolds and The Weekly Standard are trying to make is that the Obama regime is being a hypocrite in treating the military dictatorship in Fiji in a tough manner while they soft pedal in the other case. I only wish this were true. I posted on this matter earlier about the real Democrat stance on Fiji. It could be described as positively supportive of the military regime in Fiji. Here's what Democrat Eni Faleomavaega (member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Vice Chair of the Congressional Asia Pacific American Caucus, member of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, and member of the Congressional Oceans Caucus) had to say on the matter:

Australia and New Zealand were engaging in "nasty accusations" against Fiji and were "acting with a heavy hand" in trying to force elections... "I totally disagree with the nasty accusations that the leaders of New Zealand and Australia have made against Fiji … it makes no sense."

When Clinton was asked what she thought of his comments, she declined to agree or disagree. So let's give the Obama regime credit for a thoroughly consistent pathetically soft stance on oppressive regimes. Tough on Fiji? I wish.
