Great commentary on the part of the president of the USA. He obviously knows that it is best for the USA to work quietly around the sidelines, push things in the right direction, without resorting to ridiculous pronouncements that only lead to an increase in tensions between two countries. We are just now starting to be able to move Iran away from extreme radical postures. I hope that you realize that one of the main reasons that Iran had a contested election is because the people of Iran don’t see the USA as the country that is just plain out to destroy them, and they relax and be less radical in their overall posture.

One thing that Obama knows well is that democracy and freedom can not be imposed on a population, they must develop internally for them to have any value and stability. If the USA even looks like it is becoming involved in the internal affairs of Iran, it would backfire completely, pushing Iran directly back into the arms of the more radical factions… no people in any country are willing to have another country telling them how they should think.

What do you want? Would you like Obama to clamor “We are all Iranians” in a similar way that McCain proclaimed “We are all Georgians” last year and pushing the US towards direct armed conflict with the Russians?
