"Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects
all faiths.We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.
But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence.
None."-- President Obama on Sept. 12, 2012 discussing the attack on the
U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, then said by the administration to have
been spurred by an Internet video deemed offensive to Islam.Elections are
clarifying things, though not necessarily for voters.Americans are still
puzzling over the significance and consequences of 2012's electoral embrace
of an unpopular status quo. Is dysfunction the new normal? Is sclerotic
malaise the best we can muster for a federal government?But for the
candidates and campaign teams in the midst of elections, they are marvelously
simplifying affairs. If you don't win, nothing else matters. Other considerations
must take a back seat, even if you are the incumbent president
of the most important nation on the planet.If one believes he or
she is in politics to do good, as almost all politicians do,
ignoble attainment of a victory is easily excused by the thought of
good deeds achieved once installed or retained in office.Today's birthday
boy, Nicolo Machiavelli, wrote that if a politician is successful, "the
means will always be considered honest." Or, as his modern intellectual
heir, Al Davis of the Oakland Raiders, put it: "Just win, baby."But

in Mexico City, Mexico.APIn Washington, it may seem like Congress has moved

was defeated in a Senate procedural vote last month, lawmakers immediately
turned their attention to other matters, like immigration legislation, the
budget and -- in light of the Boston terror attack -- security.But
President Obama and his allies do not plan to let up, with
Vice President Biden reportedly preparing to launch a new push for gun
legislation and Obama's campaign arm trying to enlist the public to support
the cause.As opponents of stricter gun laws rallied Friday in Texas for
the National Rifle Association's annual convention, Obama himself used a
speech during his visit to Mexico to once again sound the call
for new regulations."Most of the guns used to commit violence here in
Mexico come from the United States," Obama told the crowd. "I think
many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual
right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to
uphold that right, and I always will. But at the same time,
as I've said in the United States, I will continue to do
everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out
of the hands of criminals and dangerous people."That can save lives here
in Mexico and back home in the United States," he said.While an
