“With Iran on a razor’s edge after a week of swelling protests, the Obama administration has fended off pressure from both parties to respond more forcefully to the disputed election there. But if Iranian authorities carry out their latest threat of a more sweeping crackdown, the White House would reconsider its carefully calibrated tone, officials said Friday,” according to the New York Times.
How ridiculous. Will the Neocons never tire of dragging us into needless wars? If Obama speaks out too negatively against Iran, two things will happen. The protestors in Iran will be labeled tools of the Americans. And The Iranian government may well crack down Tianenmen style. Why would we want either of those outcomes?
Americans need to understand that the people of Iran will never abandon their religious government. Republicans are on drugs if they think that Iranians will dump their Mullahs. It simply won’t happen. The best we can hope for is that the people will rise up, on their own, and get a new election.
We cannot afford any more wars. This time we need to let the people of Iran fight their own battle. If we interfere we assure that the protestors will be killed.
Look at the mess we made of Iraq. There was no reason to topple Saddam Hussein. He was the only thing keeping the Iranians in check. Invading Iraq was stupid. Let’s not repeat the mistake in Iran. If the people of Iran want change they will get it. The entire world is watching.
It is time to refute the Neocons once and for all!

#1,
I rip the Dems too – several times just this week, in fact. However, the blame for Iraq falls on Bush – and now the same asses who convinced him to invade Iraq want to start something in Iran.
Obama should tell the red-faced Neocons to take a hike!
Oh boy! Is she glad not to demonstrate in the Santa Ana.
Here, the SAPD13 would use her as a target practice as they did Susie Young Kim.
I blame Bush in part for the election of the current nut who is the president of Iran, rightfully elected, at least the 1st time.
If someone tells you your country is the one of hte most evil and dangerious countries in the world, then tells you to bring it on, If you live there then you may have a reason to vote for the person to take the strongest stand against that position. The same tactic that Republicans used to get elected up until Reagan who did something to end the cold war, rather than keep it going and give lip service.
