What a day

Obama said the unsayable today in Cairo. He said that the suffering of the Palestinians is intolerable; he used the word Torture in the US context; and he said out loud, in Egypt, a country which I know very well, that all peoples long for a government that doesn't steal from them. Bless him for daring to change what can be spoken.

Just bless him, actually.

And on a day which commemorates Tiananmen.

What a day.
