Justice, when Freedom is too much to ask for?

Caroline Glick at The Jerusalem Post discusses whether people asked for justice or for freedom in her latest column called Ideologue-in-chief which pertains to president Obama.

She meant they were fighting for freedom whereas Obama and most Iran watchers in "Washington and beyond" thought they were fighting for justice.

I must say I agree with the Obama crowd on this one. However, there is probably also elements of freedom seekers involved in the fight for justice.

The article really deals with the notion that Obama has given up on democracy. It is understandable that people in Israel think this is the case. It seems like the US have changed tack and decided not to be the police of the world any longer. I don't think Obama has given up on democracy for the US. He wants to maximize total foreign friendship. EU seems to want that also.

This all seems pragmatical to me rather than ideological?
