Brussels, not Berlin?

Steve Clemons of the Washington Note, suggests that Obama should have given the A World That Stands as One speech in Brussels, the institutional heart of Europe, rather than Berlin. Interesting. I think Obama and his staff wanted the comparisons with JFK and Reagan, they wanted the visuals, and they wanted the big crowd in Berlin.

Even more interesting is Clemons' take on the speech, and time spent in Israel vs the Occupied Territories.
