Anyways, in response to your earlier comment: I'd assume Obama wouldn't speak out on human rights issues in the Middle East. Doing so could jeopardize trade relations, which is very important for the US government.
Either he should condemn the homophobia everywhere, or he should remain silent about it. He has no right to accuse the less powerful African states, when he is too afraid to speak against the Arab sheikhs. If he thinks that trade relations are worth much more than human rights, then let it be so. But then, the logic should be same everywhere.
Yep.
