- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can walk around with that smug look on his face all he wants, but he now knows loud and clear that hundreds of thousands of Iranians hate his guts and he can't kill them all. Hopefully the U.N. will intervene and not allow Iran to execute those who protested against the recent fraudulent election.

- Evidently, most Dems are thrilled with the outcome.

- "The Iranian government says only that unspecified figures responsible for fomenting unrest have been taken into custody."
Oh, OK, this make it better - lol.
So sad, and so obvious that the government of Iran could not withstand even the slightest negative opinions or views and must completely supress them. This will not last forever, no matter what the current outcome. Achma-whats his face, should quit talking - he was doing better when he was quiet. It's only a matter of time before the clerics will be displaced by Iran's more openminded youth. - Reply to this comment
- Conservatives do not have a leg to stand on in this debate. If you want to see blood and guts that badly, why not go to an MMA fight?

No need, we'll all watch the blood and guts of thousands of courageous Iranians being executed, victims of Obama's gutless inaction. - Reply to this comment
- Did anyone really think that this oppressive government, bent on genocide of anyone who disapproves of the way they do things would have it any other way. They are backwards in the worst way. They treat their women like cattle and the only way they can "rule" is to force people to do what they say or kill them. Just like that idiot in North Korea. They don't get any respect so they have to frighten people like a bully.

- What has changed is that the Iranian people took to the street, risked their lives for their freedom while Obama winked at their oppressors. Obama spent far more time jawboning about a couple of hundred Gitmos than he did about the thousands of upstanding Iranianns who will be executed.
He said "I'm watching!". LMAO, sitting on his hands and watching. Instead of helping the Iranians who desperately need and want the help, Obama is headed to Afghanistan where the people don;t want our involvment. Afghanistan is more profitable for Obama's cronies at Halliburton to whom he continues to funnel billions or dollars. - Reply to this comment
- All SAVAK did was oppose the Cleric Nutjobs who rule Iran today. Did you know that it is estimated that somewhere around 35% of all Iranians were SAVAK operatives and that they largely comprised the educated segment of Iranian society. They knew they didn't want their country to fall under Clerical Rule.
Now Iranians want freddom fromt he very tyrants that SAVAK sought to oppose. It seems you prefer the Ayatollahs, Clyde!!! lol - Reply to this comment
- by RCC_Soldaten June 27, 2009 I find it hard to believe that the world would just stand by and watch as this idiot executes thousands of pro-democracy, educated, idealistic men and women.

Why is that hard to believe? John Kennedy did the same thing during the Bay of Pigs incident. He left over 100 men to die on a Cuban Beach and was silent during the ensuing executions that followed. Obama has often expressed admiration for JFK. Now Obama has done the same thing.
The Iranian Freedom Movement is trying to undo the legacy of Jimmy Carter, to return to an enlightened and educated society and a standard of living that they had under the Shah. Unfortunately, Carter, viewed the "repression" of the Ayatollahs as a bad thing! Now Iranians are living with that legacy and trying to overcome it. Obama has frequently cited Jimmy Carter as a hero, why would Obama do any different.
Democrats like to forget that both Ayatollah Khomeini and Saddam Hussein came to power while Jimmy Carter swilled "Billy Beer".
In some ways Obama's hands are tied. He is, after all, a relative newcomer among his fellow Muslim World Leaders and as such he must traditionally defer to the wishes of more senior Muslims like Khamenei and Corwn Prince Abdullah and Ahmendinejad.
It's a shame that the cream of Iranian society reached out for help but managed only to "concern" Obama. Obama would rather attend a photo-op in Michell's vegetable garden! - Reply to this comment

- Are we saying that Ahmadinejad is worse than
two leaders of a country who actually did and
are presently doing what we Say that
Ahmadinejed only MIGHT do?,,,
What country has Iran invaded lately?,,,Causing
tens if not hundreds of thousands of another
countries' citizens,,,,,,
,,,easy to forget isn't it?
If we're trying to denegrate Obama then try his
criminal stomping through Afghanistan.
But that's the repubs' catch 22,,,
,,got them in a bind,,,
Repubs NEVER judge Obama one way or another for
going into Afghanistan,,,,they cant,,,
They'd love to hit Obama for going into Ahfghanistan
but to do so would be smacking their hero for doing
the same thing in Iraq,,,,And to praise Obama
for doing the same thing in Afghanistan that
Bush did in Iraq,,,,would after all be,,,,
gulp!,,,"praising" Obama,,,,
So you'll never hear a word, good or bad from
repubs about Obama going into Afghanistan,,,
,,,wont happen,
Here's how repubs should handle it:,
Honest dems, certain that going into Iraq was
a war crime and seeing that their man Obama is doing
near the criminal same thing say that they're both
criminals,,,
So conversely, repubs, only believing that the
invasion was mandated by God or what ever
the reason for their belief, should nonetheless
say that both Obama and Bush did and are now
doing the right thing. - Reply to this comment
