Obama 'Moved' by Iran Images

How we respond is important. But someone already crossed that bridge. "Go ahead, build your nuclear power plants." Sound familiar?

Now it is their problem. It is not our imperitive to be meddling in their internal affairs based on propaganda, which is all we have to go by. Nobody here knows if the election results were valid or not. Without knowing this, any argument you come up with is moot. Just because people are protesting in the streets doesn't mean they are on the right side. Both candidates were chosen by the mullahs, like the media chose both of our candidates. Neither one was a good choice to begin with, just chumps to perpetuate the corruption.

The only things we need to worry about in Iran are the proliferation on nuclear weapons (now inevitible) and if they attack our allies (Israel).

And the half-black Alfred E. Newman "what me worry" can go back to stroking his own ego and making up his own laws as he goes along on his merry path to the destruction of our own society. Seriously, we have more important things to worry about.

Agreed.

Even if by some miracle Ahmadinejad is not declared president we won't be much better off. The opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi is the architect of Iran's nuclear program and is firmly anti-Western.

There are some positives if Mousavi could somehow prevail. It would signal that the votes of the Iranian people actually count. While Mousavi is in many ways a hardliner, he also believes in reform. He supports the Ayatollah and the Islamic system but he wants to change it and make it more flexible and more responsive to the people. His election could lead to more democracy and to a weakening of the Theocracy. Despite his personal anti-western stance, such changes could only benefit the West in the long run.

It should also be noted that approximately 70% of Iran's population is under the age of 35. The younger Iranians are typically more modern in their views of the rest of the world and in their ideals.

Our Halfrican President finds hisself in a quandry. His apology for our "meddling" told them they can do as they please but his position as Leader of the free world requires action. I hope the blood of their freedom fighters speaks to him every night. "Liberty isn't free Barry, freedom is won through struggle, the brave and the free help the weak and down trodden, blessings from God are not cheap and if you do nothing evil will flourish." But, tomorrow we'll continue to hear the platitudes of false religion, faulty reasoning and the moral waffling we've come to expect from the person who as a boy "wanted to be President of some small Country".
If we don't speak up for them who will speak up for us when our time comes?
