Comments on: Obama On Iran: "The World Is Watching"

President Calls On Tehran To Halt "Violent and Unjust Actions" Against Its Own People

It is not only the Iranian government that has to be removed.

The people had enough of the clerics. Let them choose their
future. Ali Khamenei has not right make their choices.

The people have the last word.

For example, on Fox News Senator John McCain said, "People are being killed and beaten in the streets of Tehran and all over Iran, and we should stand up for them ? the way we stood up for the Polish workers in Gdansk, the way we stood up for the people of then Czechoslovakia in the Prague Spring, and we have stood up for freedom in every part of the world. We're not doing that."






Involving ourselves in other nation's internal affairs, is one of the reasons that we were attacked on 9/11.

Our constant and consistent meddling in other countries INTERNAL affairs, doesn't do anything for the "good guys" - it never has, and it never will.

McCain needs to grow up, buy a history book, and pay attention for a change, instead of living his life as a warmonger.

What is so hard about criticizing a rigged election, beatings of protesters, and shut downs of media?
There is little risk in doing this. Moreover, it's the right thing to do.
Iranians aren't going to hate the U.S. for strongly criticizing a rigged election, beatings of Iranians, and shut downs of media. Far more likely that they are going to respect the U.S. for criticizing such actions. The whole Obama strategy here is ridiculous.






Your inability to see the strategy -- and it's PROVEN effectiveness in the Grand Ayatollah's speech -- is what is truly ridiculous.

Hey, 'bring it on'...

Until then, go back and erase all of your comments, they make no sense, and I'm embarrassed that someone outside the U.S. could be reading it.

Er...no. He just knows that any US involvement will whip up support for the current regime.

Any idiot can see that.

[daffy64]

Thank God John "Bomb bomb bomb Iran...har har..." McaCin isn't in power now. All that would do is whip up support for the current regime.

Nice to have an intelligent President, for a change.

Some need not an opposition party but an opposable thumb. Here's a finger.

[daffy64]

They won't have much choice when they're torn to bits by their own people, will they?

Well handled, Mr. President.

I don't want to whitemale08 -- so what are you going to do about it? Pummel me with a carrot? Or maybe hit me with your hankie?

skyk-2009 it doesn't matter what the post is about, all you seem to do is rant and name call. You are one of the most bitter, hateful posters on any of these blogs. You need some therapy. Did you mother not teach you any manners, grace, or class?

"PEOPLE of Iran who want change and who ADMIRE our President can"
