Unfortunately, I have no faith or confidence that the current Oval Office Occupant will.
And our “Chief Diplomat” went to Canada to offer words of severe’ warning to North Korea for it’s exploits, and diplo speak for Iran.
I don’t doubt that a Golden opportunity will be allowed to slip away, again.

Hats off to the Iranian clerics and political orthodoxy for responding in the worst and most blatantly self-serving manner. Hopefully they’ll continue to inflame the Iranian public.

The Universe may be heading towards it, but the Republican Party Is Not.

Satiate Yourself in that Thought.

solely to make its decision what this election will mean for the future. There will be no America ready to boost their aspirations. Our only present to the people of Iran was a free Iraq and shortly again Afghanistan. Other than that, America’s leaders will not be on board to support a popular uprising, that ship left the docks back in November 08 and began rolling out of port back in January of 06. I do not want to watch a repeat of our tepid support for a popular Shiite uprising against Saddam that we saw in ‘91-92. Anyway, heres praying to God that the Iranian people will experience their freedom without bloodshed.

many times how much the Iranian people hate the mullahs and strict
Islamic rule yet they never do anything. I’m not optimistic that they will do much of anything this time. As for the opposition candidate who “lost” the Presidential election.Brigitte Gabriel was on FOX saying that he has a history of praising the killing of 230 US Marines in a suicide bombing in Lebanon and had bragged about killing 141 people.He does however want to get rid of the religious police and allow for more choice for women in the way they dress. I suppose this is what passes for a “progressive” in Iran.

People tend to get used to freedom, and if one candidate offers an iota more of it we should support that candidate.

At the same time, politicians have to play to their electorate. Considering that we are the US, I would say it is reasonable to expect every national election in every country will have some sort of platform involving putting pressure on us in some way and/or successes in dealing with us. Unfortunately a leader in any Iranian election is going to have a much harsher message than we like to hear.

Realistically, we can’t expect anyone who openly loves this country to win an election there right now. However, we can work toward it.

You have Hillary talking Newspeak about the “dialogue” going on in Iran. Then you have the CANADIAN foreign minister talking tough about voting irregularities! The link was on the front page but I think they reformatted everything so I can’t find it.

Seriously. What can be done?

You can’t send in the troops, for obvious reasons (not the least of which is they’re otherwise engaged). And do we really think that condemnation from the US is going to matter one jot to them? It hasn’t thus far.

So what exactly can the US do at this point?

The protest aren’t going anywhere without US backing.

can’t help but notice how his responses to media questions mirror bambis.

albeit many moons ago, you have to know their history & culture. Reza Shah Pahlavi came into power through the army & with U.S. help. He had the
power of the army behind him. He was forced to abdicate to his son ,Mohammad, by the Allies when he started getting friendly with the Axis powers.Mousavi does not control the army, nor will he receive help from the U.S. Since Mousavi has been arrested, his movement is leaderless(I think
the only way for him to come out of this alive, is for him to accept the elction
results via orders from the supreme leader) In order to be successful, the opposition has to get control of the army & the state run media which I don’t see happening , unless someone steps up to take a leadership role. I don’t
see that occurring right now. For me personally, I would say now is the time for Israel to move in & destroy their nuclear facilities.

Correct Me if wrong but i believe It ilegal to own gun in Iran. seem like read that one time one major strike opposeing gun control. just go show you that tyrant fear guns in the hands of the people.I think China also might be that way
So the only way for the people to revolt is for the Army to get behind them.And I know that mullah call the shots but this guy Amad that is whole bunch eaiser to spell is a mananic.Glen Beck said one time said that even the first Ayatollah thought his pol.group was nuts.

whose numbers were strong enough and was capable of undermining the current Fundamentalist regime from within, our Special Forces would have found them by now.

It’s my opinion that the “students” in Iran, much like many “students” in America, aren’t willing to bear the cost of Liberty.

Luckily, we don’t have to depend on our “students” to defend our Liberty.

When we Invade Iraq there was one madman that decided he had better get a little bit more civil and that was the Libya colonel.By way from now on I am going to refer to the three extreme nut case as as the three stooges that is whole lot eaiser to spell . Of coarse that the N.K. leader which that one Kim is easy and so is Hugo but my point is that they say so many dumb thing that the world loves to gobble especially some those thugs at the U.N.but some the amb.did walk out on the first stooge when he spoke there the last time oh well maybe one of those day he going learn that he cant have everything,but i dont think it will any time soon

I mean isn’t it obvious?

want direct intervention into Iran’s affairs. I firmly believe that America’s
attitude that’we know better than you do” probably led to the
‘79 revolution. When I lived there, even the poorest American was much richer than the average Iranian. My Dad worked for SEDCO (now Schlumberger),
and there was no effort made by them or the U.S. gov.t to teach us to
respect their culture ( can’t speak for how the military prepped their
personnel). The American school did not teach about Iranian culture,
and there were no classes teaching Farsi. Americans were arrogant ( I
do hate to admit that). Case in point, back then, girls wore dresses, not
pants (you youngsters may find that hard to believe); thus we were
exposing not only our heads,but arms, legs, etc. You can see how this
was an affront to their culture (religion). If America tries any covert operations,
and fails , then we only give A’Jad (mullah’s mouthpiece) the right to say, “see
I told you the West wants to take over,Imperialist infidels!” Although Mousavi
is considered more moderate, this is only in comparison to the present regime.
I have read nothing that convinces me that he is pro western (especially in
regards to their nuclear development). If anyone is interested, the
Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi (son of the late Shah), has a website:www.rezapahlavi.org. He comments on the current unrest in the
country.

I’m not sure that’s the important thing here. It’s not what they think of us, it’s what they *do*.

Is he less of a nutcase? Less of a Jew hater? Less of a terrorist? That’s what I want to know.

what they think of us, because what they think of us will certainly dictate
what they *do*. I do not pretend to be an expert on Mousavi, but from
what I have read, he is no friend of Israel, and there are no indications
that he would try to limit Iran’s terrorist activities. I’m not promoting A’jad,
I’m just saying that Mousavi could well be promoting “hope” & “change”
In Iran, & we all know how well that’s worked for us.

My concern is that an eventual Armageddon-jad loss would be seen by the American People as “OK - Iran problem solved.” Whoever gets elected, Iran will continue to develop nukes with the ability to hit more of our bases or Israel.

I am, however, excited that there is a real possibility of more chaos in Iran. I want it to go country wide. I want whispers of freedom to run from Tehran to the Persian Gulf. I also want any iota of freedom the Iranian people can get for themselves. One that door is cracked, it becomes harder to shut.

I had a free preview of HBO and started watching this program.
You have to watch it. It just documents real people in Iran.
No narration.

Keep several Poll locations open as late as needed to pad the vote while letting all others close (Early- (and the new Late-) Voting trends)….

I wonder what they call their version of ACORN there?!?!?

The Democrats here, of course, don’t have to shut down media outlets and/or information flow as they control 95% of it. Wait, same as there - guess they figured out that the populace is getting the real news from that other 5% alternative. If only more Americans would wake up to it.
