EU puts us to shame.
PRAGUE, June 22 (Reuters) - The Czech European Union presidency asked the bloc's members on Monday to consider summoning the heads of Iran's missions in Europe to express "deep revulsion" over post-election violence there.

Wired magazine says people are starting to boycott Nokia and Seimens.
"According to the Journal, a system installed in Iran by Nokia Siemens Networks — a Finland-based joint venture between Nokia and Seimens — provides Iranian authorities with the ability to conduct deep-packet inspection of online communications to monitor the contents and track the source of e-mail, VoIP calls, and posts to social networking sites such as Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. The newspaper also said authorities had the ability to alter content as it intercepted the traffic from a state-owned internet choke point."

From any angle you look at this I think Obama loses.
When politicians and statesmen fail to defend principles and what is right it undermines them elsewhere.
From here on after should Obama go after any domestic group (let's say, "polluters" who may oppose his idiotic cap n trade policies) or even minor players in lesser foreign affairs (Israeli settlers, one example) the criticism is going to be 'Look, this American president is harder on [ ....... ] than he was on the fanatical, misogynist, murderous theocrats running Iran.'

Sure, I have suggestions. But a little context is necessary, or else my efforts are wasted.
You see, I can talk - as a conservative/libertarian - about what I think Obama should do, or I can invoke Reagan, or I can compare Obama's fecklessness to that of Carter, but such comparisons get dismissed by Obama's fawning foreign admirers here as irrelevant or as "sour grapes".
So how about you tell me some of the recent diplomatic quandries and challenges your country has faced and the names of those involved, and I will start from there with an attempt to draw comparisons or offer parallels.
Waiting...

Wash. Times is reporting an exclusive today:
"Prior to this month’s disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself. Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a lengthy sermon last week, in which he accused the United States of fomenting protests in his country in the aftermath of the disputed June 12 presidential election..."
The outcome of the elections has caught Amadinejad, the regime and Obama off guard.
Hey - where is Hillary?

It is safe to say Obama's latest round of speechifying is the rhetorical equivalent of those " Free Tibet " stickers that progressives slap on over the faded versions of earlier ones decorating the bumpers of their Volvos .

HuffPo readers outraged - outraged I say! - because in an interview with one of their hacks McCain wouldn't say which side of the struggle he thought Obama was on:
"Between Ahmadinejad and the reformers, do you think there's any doubt what side President Obama is on?" McCain (R-Ariz.) was asked by the Huffington Post. "What would be the advantage...?"
"I know what side I'm on," McCain cut in. "I'm on the side of the people. I'm not on Ahmadinejad's side or Mousavi. I'm on the side of the Iranian people and I'm on the right side of history. And I'm not going to walk on the other side of the street while people are being killed and beaten in the streets of Iran."
"McCain said Obama's reaction wasn't equal to the situation."

American "Liberals" should renounce the label and like Hillary did ask to be called "progressives." They care nothing for liberty and it's been decades since they did.

"Lays down a harder line"
Whatta laugh.
Yeah, I bet the regime in Teheran and the Basij thugs tremble at the thought of what America's president - whose spiritual guide's hatred for America rivals that of the 'president' of Iran - is going to do.
I recall reading in one of Obama's two unwarranted autobiographies that he would stand with the Muslims if things got ugly.
Who would have guessed he was talking about the dictator, genocidal fantasist and Holocaust denier Ahmadinejad and the mullahs behind him.

Hardly needs mentioning that New York is Lib Central.
It's bad enough that "Liberals" oppose charter schools and a parent's right to choose how their child will be educated but here you see how they oppose even basic accountability or performance testing for teachers.
The unions demand payoff for the votes they deliver to the Democrat Party. One form it takes is job security.
"...in four-years only two of the city's 80,000 teachers were fired for incompetence..."
Incontrovertible proof that the Democrats are ruining the country.

Obama summons all his moral courage and at the same time he sums up modern "liberalism":
"We've got to believe that justice will prevail."
Ab so lute ly pathetic.

Maybe it is time the media and the authorities look into the tens of millions in illegal campaign donations Obama accepted from foreign sources. Maybe he wants to speak out on Iran but he can't ...

Sarkozy represents an older Europe that is shuffling into the dark. Madverts right wing BNP extremist buds aside many younger Euros crave dhimmitude. There are fashion shows in some of Europe's biggest cities acknowledging the trend towards Europe's all but inevitable Islamization.

It's not just Republicans. Iranian expat in Canada goes after Obama:
I guess the mullahs are laughing their arse off seeing this shameful coward man in the White House giving them international political cover while they're massacring the sons and daughters of Iran in broad day light.
US gov't says the 4th of July BBQ party is still on for the Iranian diplomats.
And are they serious about this amid the bloodbath in Iran? This moron in the White House has his hands stained with the blood of Iranian people if he really negotiates with the murderers or keeps covering for them. Shame on you Obama! You're a coward tyrant!

No way for Obama to blame Bush on this one; so no comment.

Sentiments like that help Americans understand why the BNP and other extreme right wing groups (like the ones in Austria) are on the rise.
Europe scares me.

Panic! Where is the 12th Imam? Why does he tarry? Shouldn't he come a-shootin' up outta the well legend says he has been hiding in these last 1200 years? The ruling council had the streets of Teheran widened in anticipation of his reappearance.
How much longer do the loony tune mullahs and the puppet Ahmadinejad think they can go on with the farce, the religious insanity and now the ever more desperate brutality?
