Well, We Didn't Really Mean "Everybody"

--You're a communist?

--No. But I can still have comrades

In his recent Cairo speech, President Obama declared it is a human right to have "the freedom to live as you choose." However, this belies his administration's reluctance to overturn the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy regarding homosexuals in the military.

Why don't homosexuals in the U.S. have the same rights our Phony War on Terror (PWOT ©) and democracy advocates pitch for Middle Easterners?

"To find common ground . . . and to respect the dignity of all human beings."

Indeed.
