shame!

It is now many days since the protests began in Iran. We hear fragmented stories of the regime arresting opposition leaders and shooting at demonstrators. Still, the protests have not stopped. Nevertheless, in all this time, President Obama has yet to say anything in clear support of those who are protesting. In other words, the so-called leader of the free world has nothing to say about Iranians who want basic freedom including the right to assembly and the right to fair elections. Shame on him! In my lifetime, I have never been so ashamed of our president as I am today on this point. Okay, so he does not want to get the USA involved. But still, we should at least announce that we support the aims of all of those who seek liberty. We should stand with the protestors in word if not in deed. Obama -- wake up!!!!
