Obama's handlers have really misplayed this one.
What a disaster.

You prove an important point - conservatism is an argument, a debate. Modern liberalism is all about what libs "feel."

Fascinating. I guess I has been in Japan too long. All that ice displaced would mean waterfront property prices where you are from are down so precipitously even a schmuck like me could buy in.
Got a link for me to real estate sites where waterfront property owners in your country - aware no doubt, like you are, of how all the meting means rising sea levels - are unloading such property?
Maybe I could retire there, even come to share the enlightened world view you hold.
Waiting...

Gosh Beav, ya sure got an Ameri-centric view of the world there. Heck, it's like you think it's only when America intervenes that anything can change. Are ya tryin to say the people of Iran have had no chances since '53 to take matters into their hands? What gives?

The View from Egypt:
“When Obama does not take a stance, the very next day these oppressive regimes will regard this as a signal. This is a test for his government,” said Ayman Nour, a noted Egyptian opposition politician who was recently released from jail. “If they can turn a blind eye to their enemy, they can turn a blind eye to any action here in Egypt.”

Had it been a Dem we would be playing the American media's favorite game. Do a search on
"name that party" and you'll get a picture of what I am referring to.

"Sunlight before signing"?
That was just a campaign pledge, silly rabbits.
It was officially abandoned this week.

Good on Obama. It's obvious that the criticism of his first response got to him - or his handlers I should say - and he is getting tougher.

Are you? Judging from the amount you talk about I'd say you enjoy, for whatever reason, reading about such stuff.

You put words in people's mouths.
I think inkjet, like most of us, took notice of things in Iran when he saw reports of widespread dissatisfaction and demonstrations against the regime. And when you look at the pics out of Iran you see all ages and groups. The regime has brought in hired goons from Lebanon. They are shooting their own people.
Sorry, but no one voted for that.

Keith Olbermann was reading out on MSNBC to all his idiot fans some very intimate e-mails this guy Sanford sent to his mistress.
Weren't "Liberals" opposed to FISA and the possibility that our e mail would no longer be completely private?
susisake's obsession continues:
She's at the top of opinion polls among Republicans, with Romney in second.

I guess i spoke too soon.
"The stink surrounding the Pelosi-Waxman-Markey cap-and-tax bill has become vomit-inducing overnight. Representative Waxman has decided to replace the 1091-page bill with a 300-page bill that will be debated for no longer than three hours today. So your elected representatives will have virtually no time to debate the merits of an economy-spanning bill they will not have had time to read. Speaker Pelosi and her sidekick Waxman are displaying nothing more than complete contempt for the democratic process."

yabits:
While Iranian clerics have lost a lot of their prestige and influence recently the most influential Shia in Iraq,Ayatollah al-Sistani, has seen his grow, especially back in his native Iran, and basically for the reasons which yabit lamely tried to refute - Iraq had free elections and al-Sistani did not try to intervene, nor has he ever tried to do what the mullahs in Iran did - demand that his brand of Islam be made the state religion.
Consider the following 2007 quote from al-Sistani:
“I am a servant of all Iraqis, there is no difference between a Sunni, a Shiite or a Kurd or a Christian...”
Elsewhere I do recall reading he has said that Islam can exist within a democracy without theological conflict. Tall order, but I hope we get to see the experiment. Iran seems like as good a place as any.

A little over a hundred years since the Wright Brothers.
Amazing.
