Khaled Abu Toameh of the Jerusalem Post "It took President Barack Obama nine days to condemn Col. Muammar Gaddafi's massacres in Libya as "outrageous" and "unacceptable."
"It took the UN Security Council more than a week to hold a closed-door meeting and issue a tempered statement condemning the violence in Libya and calling for its immediate end and for those responsible to be held accountable.
"This is the same Security Council that one week earlier held a special and open session to condemn construction in Jewish settlements in the West Bank.'
Hat tip to Big Peace : "According to Abu Toameh, there’s another double standard at work: the relatively deferential approach that Washington has taken toward Gaddafi when compared to its handling of the uprising against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak."
