BLOG: Iran's not settling down anytime soon

Mr. Obama should stand up very loudly and openly and CLEARLY for freedom and democracy.
He sounds like he likes the Iranian government but he would like them to treat their people more nicely.

Is Mr. Obama an American???!!! Is he really in favor of freedom?

Now I understand why so many millions are asking to see his birth certificate.
That is an issue that will not go away.
Those who are in denial, always try to quickly dismiss that question, and sweep under the rug, but they have no real answer.
Why is my birth certificate and every one of the other presidents' birth certificates and every citizen's birth certificate so accesible??!!

"engaging the regime." Exactly. I don't believe that the US media is truly appalled, however. Their love and adulation for BH Obama is too great- they are incapable of seeing any flaws in the man. Obama's failure will not destroy his presidency. He will be roundly criticized (by the republicans, of course, not the dems) and since the dems are in power, this will all be brushed off. His silence is deafening, and by staying silent he proves his incompetence- but that is no big deal for the dems. Their adulation and total obedience is complete and total. Contrast this to JFK's statement that said we will defend and speak out for freedom anywhere in the world. I see collector plates, posters, books, that make Obama out to be a god. Not because of his character, certainly, but because he is our first "African American" president (as the media calls him.) Technically. he is not. His family is from Kenya, not the USA. His ancestors are not former slaves, they are Kenyan farmers. This man is just slimy, an amoral empty suit. No wonder he stays silent on the travesty in Iran.

I am glad to see Americans so involved, wanting to know about what's going on in Iran, the blogging and tweeting. I only wish they had payed as much attention to their own elections. But remember, no matter whose side they are on among themselves, they all hate The United States. That's why it's taken so long for Obama to speak up against the election and it's aftermath, he's on their side.

Neda died because she got out of a car that was too hot. In the midst of protest she stepped out onto the street and was shot and killed in front of her music teacher and father as well as various other onlookers including the person who shot the video. Neda died as a casualty of the Iranian protest. Will she be the last to die because of it? I highly doubt it. We are seeing more and more videos that are becoming more and more violent and atrocious. When will governments realize that in order to sustain peace we must practice it? Neda will be in my heart forever. I will never forget the look on her face as she died - which says something for the world we live in that I can be among the millions of people who have witnessed her final moments on this earth.

See, Just like OBAMA said - "We need to make friends around the world - people hate us, blah, blah blah"....

HAHAHA! Yeah OK! Yeah, just make friends with a government that wants to "Burn Israel", calls the U.S.A. the Evil Satan and today accused Great Britain of being EVIL. - for “promoting” hate on VOA (Voice of America) - Right, I'm sure if we just talk to these guys, they'll just become our pals!

Maybe OBAMA wasn't clear huh? No, wait, I got it. It’s all Bush's fault. No? Umm, How perplexing! I thought Obama came up with a brilliant plan never thought of before (Talking to them) – Wow, in all the years of middle east peace talks on would think someone, somewhere would have thought of it first huh?
The fact is ladies, IT AIN'T US...ITS THEM...When are people going to suddenly realize you can't get blood from a stone? Err, I mean, a HATEFUL people to be peaceful?

How ya liking it now? OBAMA - FAILURE in Muslim Diplomacy? NO WAY... So lets recap-
AMERICA is hated, America is racist, America is evil, personal wealth is evil, etc, etc, etc.

I’m almost done – but can’t leave without speaking to the liberals out there when they said “Bush stole the election”…(Yet they have no problem with ACRON stuffing the ballot boxes because it was for their guy). So today in IRAN we had a number of killings, 4 prominent soccer players had their passports taken away and BANNED from playing any longer and are now being flown back to IRAN from Asia all because it was caught on camera they were wearing a bracelet that stood with the protesters…Yeah, I admit it…We are a very ugly country and as Obama said; “Should be ashamed”….Yeah, I agree – We should all use IRAN as the Model country don’t ya think?

The protests are done. What we have now is the liberals in our country trying to make up for the inadequacies of their president and his lack of moral clarity. The annointed one just lacks leadership as well as experience..

ummm haven't the protested been "quelled" already? there haven't been any protests lately and the Iranian government didn't even allow mosques to pay tribute to neda.

no one will ever forget what they did to that poor woman

@UrbanGypsy One of the reasons why people are watching this so closely is because it seems so similar to the 1979 revolution - in which a largely peaceful revolution did succeed against a determined regime.

Seems rare, but it does sometimes happen.

Ya'lls should read that LA Times bit on her. It makes the scenario a lil' more personal. Sounds like she was a wonderful person. We shouldn't forget about the others that gave their lives either though... Lots of suffering in Iran.

I doubt this will bring about any change in Iran. How can they force the gov't to give up its decision?

Peaceful revolutions do not succeed against determined regimes.

This is one of the interesting things - Time magazine points out that the way mourning works in Shi'ite Islam, there's a built-in schedule for further mass protests to 40 days out. (There's a link in the blog.)

People are now referring to this uprising as "Neda's Revolution" on Twitter and blogs.

keep on fighting.
