   Wonder if my post will make it past the screen.

   And there was Mickey Mouse giving the assahola the Hawaiian peace sign-Disney people got their knickers in a knot over that one. Now we wait for President Hussein Obama to bow before the Ayatollah, Assahola whatever. Bros you know

    1. Speaking about a democratic movement in Iran is a distraction for Hussein, as he tries to socialize USA.

    2. H loves dictators such as Chavez, Castro,…

    3. H might be worried that such protests supporting democracy might spread to this country. Recall what this administration’s response was to TEA protests.

    4. If there is a democratic revolution in Iran and they stop exporting terrorists and blaming every trouble on the Jews, Hussein might find himself more isolated as he tries to blame Jews for his problems.

    Obama’s middle of the road, non-committal policy is one of those occasional situations where a liberal gets something right by accident. It is true that Mousavi at the core isn’t much different than current ruling class and even has it’s stamp of approval by allowing him to be a major candidate. There is probably some part of the protesters that that would like to see the mullahs go and support the demonstrations as a means to voice their opposition. But by showing them support, Obama can probably do more damage than good to them, as this would give the regime a pretext to crack down on them.

    But these considerations are not what guides Obama. It is his wishy-washy, liberal world view that “all cultures are equal and America should not be seen as meddling” that is his policy. For example, if/when demonstrations and protests break out to overthrow the communists thugs in Cuba and establish a clearly superior system with free elections and a market economy can anybody imagine Obama would be strongly supportive of the demonstrators and denounce the communist regime in no uncertain terms? Doubtful. More likely would be a statement of support for all people to have their voices heard and the right to self-determination blah, blah, blah…Maybe something even urging restraint on all sides.

    Well, the Mohammedans still hate us, even those who need us to keep a dictator’s heel off their neck. The Mohammedans still hate Christians, Jews, the State of Israel, and anyone who has the temerity to point out that their “religion of peace” has damn little to do with peace.

    Moral support is all it takes.

    Allow me to quote Roger Simon on this:

    No one is advocating we call out the Marines, but almost every Iranian I have talked with would like to see a more fervent declaration of democratic principles, more support for the bravery of the demonstrators, by our president. Such declarations have already been made by Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy with no discernible backlash. My guess is that the Iranian demonstrators, those quite literally laying their lives on the line, would love to know that the leader of the free world is on their side.

    As for Mousavi vs Ahmadinejad, I’ll quote a commenter over at Belmont Club:

    I don’t think it’s all for nothing. Someone wrote that Mousavi’s great qualification was that he is not Ahmadinejad. Someone should tell Obama, who keeps trying to talk to Ahmadinejad, that that a current of illegitimacy runs through the current political structure. So the protests aren’t all for nothing. But they are not about putting one candidate in power.

    I hate to interpolate my own experiences into current events because the parallels are inexact, but back in 1986, when Marcos’ Defense Secretary Juan Ponce Enrile rebelled against the dictator, a million people rushed out to build a human wall around a man who only weeks before, was their arch-enemy. That was the EDSA Revolution. In the strange calculus of conflict, the enemy of the enemy is my friend. Yet the fundamentals remain. Enrile was no democrat and he was soon marginalized because most people understood that opportunism, not principle, led him to turn away from his dark master. He was forgiven his trespasses, but never trusted.

    Maybe America should stay out of it, but that guy is clueless!

    Exhibit A:

    The US media’s demonization of Ahmadinejad itself demonstrates American ignorance.

    No it doesn’t.

    Exhibit B:

    The President of Iran is not the ruler. He is not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

    So what? George Wallace should be demonized yet he wasn’t the national ruler, and he wasn’t the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

    Why on earth would such be a criteria for demonizing someone?

    Ahmadinejad spews racist, hateful trash in an attempt to incite harm on others, yet he shouldn’t be demonized?

    What exactly do you mean by “you people”?!! If your wittle feelings are bruised LEAVE! I’ll tell you what’s “no good for the country”- progressives! They are the cancer that is killing, absolutely KILLING the West. Europe is dying. Got that? America will be next. YOU PEOPLE will never get it through your heads that we are OUT OF MONEY!!! There just simply is NO MORE. My kids will have to work their entire lives to pay for all your cradle to grave entitlements.

    YOU PEOPLE say you’re for liberty and freedom, but that’s a joke. The only voices YOU PEOPLE want heard are progressive voices- everyone else, shut up and sit down. Freedom? Not so much. YOU PEOPLE are for the growth of the State and liberty be damned! In the wise words of Ronald Reagan- as government expands, freedom contracts.

    YOU PEOPLE are destroying this great nation and the rest of us are expected to just sit back and watch the largest power grab in the history of this nation without so much as a whimper.

    Not bloody likely!
