Will the Obama administration’s decision to move anti-missile capability into the environs of Hawaii affect Obama’s past and present stance toward missile defense? Will the increasingly brave stance of hundreds of thousands in the streets of Iran protesting the theft of an election and the repression of civil rights finally prompt a morally unambiguous word of support from our president? Will the talk to replace the dollar as an international currency and this year’s deficit spiraling to $2 trillion, prompt some sort of effort to take a deep breath, rethink the magnitude of the debt, and put off the plans for further trillions of borrowing? Let us hope . . .
