Nseej | #Salon : #U.S. not "standing idly by" in #Bahrain .

#President Obama, March 19, 2011:
We cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people there will be no mercy.

President Obama, September 20, 2011, to the #U.N.:
The United States will continue to support those nations that transition to democracy -- with greater trade and investment, so that freedom is followed by opportunity. We will pursue a deeper engagement with governments, but also civil society -- students and entrepreneurs; political parties and the press. We have banned those who abuse human rights from travelling to our country, and sanctioned those who trample on human rights abroad. And we will always serve as a voice for those who have been silenced.
