Just moment ago, our President finally addressed the thousands of protestors in Tehran who are fighting for freedom and justice. Let's see what he said:
"It's not productive given the history of US-Iranian relations to be seen as meddeling, the US President meddeling, in Iranian elections. What I will repeat and what I said yesterday is that when I see violence directed at peaceful protestors, when I see peaceful dissent being supressed, wherever that takes place, it is of concern to me, and it's of concern to the American people".
So, to you thousands of people in the streets of Iran KNOWING that your lives are on the line as you clamor, with whatever hope you have in your hearts, for freedom and justice in your homeland, the President of the USA says to you "can't meddle, Not because of our past relations. If Bush hadn't messed things up, I would be there with you. But I can't. However, I am concerned".
Mr. Gorbechov, tear down this wall. The Axis of Evil. The Evil Empire. Powerful words coupled with powerful actions that did, indeed, free people. And today we have "it's not productive to be seen as meddeling". If he could use the passive voice more often, it would be done.
"This is a corrupt, flawed, shame of an election. The Iranian people have been deprived of their rights and we support them in their struggle against a repressive, oppressive regime and they should not be subjected to 4 more years of Ahmadinejad and the radical muslim clerics" -John McCain
Voice of a leader, and I am no McCainite.
Mr. President, couldn't you even speak about hope and change? You speak worse about the Bush Administration than you do about the Ayatollah.
I'm ashamed of my President.

Agree or disagree. Just be civil and smart. Personal attacks are for children.
