Didn't mention this much when it was happening last week---it sorta got overshadowed by events in the Middle East---but it was heartening all the same to see our leaders praising the efforts of human-rights activists on the other side of the world because freedom:
“When I took office as president, I sent a message to those governments who ruled by fear,” Obama said. “I said in my inauguration address: We will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. And over the last year and a half, a dramatic transition has begun, as a dictatorship of five decades has loosened its grip.”
Meanwhile, loosened grips. Also too, freedom!
