Durante muchos años hemos brindado nuestro apoyo a regímenes despóticos y dictaduras del mundo árabe. Ahora, cuando el Presidente Assad comienza a adoptar medidas brutales contra su propio pueblo, nos apresuramos a condenar obedientemente sus acciones e imponer tibias sanciones.
For many years, we have given our support to despotic regimes and dictatorships in the Arab world. Now, when President Assad begins taking brutal measures against his own people, we are, of course, dutifully condemning his actions and imposing half-hearted sanctions.
