"And we saw that same desire to be free in Tunisia, where the will of the people proved more powerful than the writ of a dictator. And tonight, let us be clear: The United States of America stands with the people of Tunisia, and supports the democratic aspirations of all people."

-- U.S. President Barack Obama, 2011 State of the Union, 1/25/11

We commend the President for his noteworthy intention.

However, last week's actions -- unconditionally easing sanctions towards the Castro regime and the state dinner for China's dictator -- were poor indicators.
