NBC is inviting viewers to submit questions for Matt Lauer to ask President Obama.
The interview will be airing on the Today show next Tuesday, I believe.
Here is the question that I submitted:
When discussing Indonesian human rights abuses, President Obama said, "We have to acknowledge that those past human rights abuses existed. We can't go forward without looking backwards..."
But last year when asked about investigating abuses by the United States, Obama said, "I'm a strong believer that it's important to look forward and not backwards, and to remind ourselves that we do have very real security threats out there."
Why is it important for Indonesia to acknowledge past abuses but not the United States?
