Anybody who came here the last few years bleating about how Iran would be democratic if it weren't for the US-UK Cold War decision of over fifty years ago to depose Mossadegh but who is now saying that the US and the West need to refrain from any intervention or even condemnation of the regime is a hypocrite and a liar.

It's the cultural Left that supports and enables Mohammedans to continue in Europe the institutional misogyny their cult is infamous for. So I think what we need here is the ChickenHawk argument Lefties seem to think passes for logic - if you support the right to wear a burqa show it by bundling yourself up in a burlap bag,refrain from voting and don't forget to quit your present job/get off the dole and take the sort of menial jobs that women in Muslim countries are expected to take.

Good on Germany. They have a real leader.
"Germany sides with those Iranians who want to exercise their right to freedom of expression and assembly", Merkel declared on Sunday.

Barack Obama, before the regime began cutting off contact with the outside world and gunning down innocent Iranians:
"We are excited to see what appears to be a robust debate taking place in Iran and obviously, after the speech that I made in Cairo, we tried to send a clear message that we think there’s a possibility of change and, ultimately, the election is for the Iranians to decide but just as what has been true in Lebanon, what can be true in Iran as well, is that you’re seeing people looking at new possiblities, and whoever ends up winning the election in Iran, the fact that there’s been a robust debate hopefully will help advance our ability to engage them in new ways."
Democrats here, if you believe in your party please find a way to impress upon your dear leader that he is not campaigning anymore, he has to lead.

The fist the regime shows Obama and the rest of the world is not only "clenched" but stained with the blood of innocents as well.
What is our rookie president going to do now - sit down and write another autobiography?

I'm thoroughly enjoying Barack's Excellent Adventure.It's looking like a rerun of the Carter years, which were awful, but they paved the way for Reagan. Apparently, every 30 years or so sentimental Lefties - young and old - need to learn in real time why they have always been on the wrong side of history. I'm sorry that ordinary Iranians are adversely affected, and I worry that as with Carter, our president's tepid response is read as eagerness to appease, which will be tested elsewhere.

No, it won't. Iran faces huge obstacles - a birth rate like that of many W European nations (also committing auto-genocide), and a huge heroin problem. Speaks of hopelessness if you ask me.

"Bicultural Jazz" has got to be a new low in this stupid and invidious obsession with race, imaginary pedigrees and the still-lingering Meiji Era quasi-religious rite whereby art/music is reduced to something like a sacrifice to be made at the Altar of Culture, Where Only Some Shall Be Deemed Worthy.

I'm racking my brains trying to remember which Liberal economist it was that copped the Nobel Prize in Economics for proving that the key is to realize it's all a popularity contest.

Whatta laugh. The totalitarian theocracy in Iran paints 'Death to America' on the missiles it parades through Teheran and people like you say it is just for show, doesn't mean a thing blah blah blah. Candidate McCain, who even if he became president would have faced a Dem Congress, jokingly sings a Beachboys tune and changes a few words and the Left, in its endless orgy of self-congratulation, decides that their vote for Obama saved mankind from a nuclear war.

Ahmad Batebi was featured on the cover of the Economist magazine about a decade ago. He was later imprisoned and tortured by the regime in Iran.He spoke this week:
"His (Obama) lack of response will not be regarded lightly. We will watch for how much his response will help the people or the regime. We will know more this week... Obama can hold talks with the regime in Iran if he wants. Is it morally correct for Obama to support the regime? Does he actually believe the people of Iran will appreciate that? The social movement requires support."

If America is so hated and Bush supposedly set us back thirty years why - with Dubya only five months out of office - are the Iranian citizens we see fighting the mullahs' brownshirts asking in English for a foreign power to unilaterally intervene in the affairs of their country?
Is it Great Britain they beseech?

History News Network:
I hope Barack Obama takes the time to read Ayatollah Khamenei’s speech. He would find it most educational. For the Supreme Leader, as Obama likes to call him, has not directed his rhetorical fire at his most forthright detractors, France and Germany.
No, he directed them, as he always did and would have done if Obama had been more forthright in his response, at the United States. If president Obama hoped his “tepid” response would undermine Khamenei’s ability to posit America as the enemy (second, of course, to the Zionists), he was wrong.
