On IRAN

I know it seems like I am off the reservation here, but, I ACTUALLY agree with Obama's handling of the Iranian election situation.

The right is taking him to task. If I thought THEY were right on this one I would too.

The Left is in it's usual state of confusion. CNN is all Verklempt over this.

But as horrible as this all is, to see that beautiful young woman killed, to see the thugs beating up the protesters (Acorn anyone?) I believe the Pres has kept the right stance.

Consider, if he supported directly the crooked elections he would not make friends. They wouldn't hate him any less. They are bad people. That's for certain, but for now they are the bad people we have to deal with.

On the other hand, IF he were to openly support and encourage the protests he could be considered fomenting revolution. In the worst way. It might cause the protesters to take action beyond what is driving them anyway.

The genie is out of the box. They must revolt as we well may in this country someday against an evil regime. It's only that when we do, consider if Russia or China openly supported one side or the other, what that would mean to the dynamics.

So, I hope for the best for the Iranian People. I want to see the violence stop. I hope that the government in Iran will be deposed for a more just government. They are a great people, the Persians. People of history and prophecy. I hope for a better outcome than the nut that claims illegitimate power right now.

But, this is something the Iranian people must do without my or Obama's direct interference.

He will be accused of it any way. Just, don't lean into the punch.
