American policy is now totally contradictory.
PEACEFUL protest movements in the Arabia -- Bahrain, Yemen, Syria -- have been approach with a 10 ft pole (more like a 10k mile pole), while Clinton is flying all over the world pushing financial and military support for the MILITANT insurrection in Libya.
US is "shocked," when oppressive military regimes shoot peaceful protesters in Arab countries, but does not blink when Israel does the same, year after year and now on its borders with Arab countries.
US policy is to support "Democracy" but pours cold water on Bahraini majority that calls for democracy over Monarchy but launches military strikes on behalf of Libyan Islamic militants that refuse to accept open and free elections and vocally reject religious tolerance.
I guess this is going to be a difficult speech.
