Well today there is fighting in the streets of Teheran -- or more precisely, those who are protesting are being beaten and arrested by heavily armed police. So, no freedom of assembly, no freedom of speech and total repression by the apparatus of the police state. And where, in all of this, is his high and mightiness, Barack Hussein Obama? The truth is that he could not care less. Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame!!!!!
For nearly all of the last hundred years, american foreign policy has had one unifying theme: support for democracy and individual freedoms around the world. We fought two world wars and the cold war to make the world safe for democracy. We supported liberty in countless places and in countless ways. We were, to use Reagan's favorite phrase, a shining city on a hill for the people of the world. Those who aspired to freedom and democracy knew that they could count on our support. The Obamanation has just thrown that away. All he can bring himself to say is that Iran will be judged by how it reacts to these protests. some stirring endorsement! Even congress has passed resolutions supporting the cause of freedom and democracy in Iran. Somehow, our president just cannot find the words to do so.
For much of his presidency,Obama has apologized for the actions of the USA. It seemed as if he believed the mantra of the crazy left that the US is the cause of most of the evils in the world. It seems much more likely now that this is truly Obama's view. He will no longer support freedom and liberty -- those are -- to him-- outdated and evil concepts.
We can only hope that Obama wakes up. Unfortunately for the US, he will be president for another 3 and a half years. Who knows how much damage he will be able to do during that time?
