So, we’ve still got people thinking that sitting back and saying and doing nothing is the right move to make?

How dare you.

We sat back and did nothing at Tiananmen Square and the regime cracked down and many of those involved were never to be heard from again.

We sat back and did nothing in Rwanda and Congo and Darfur and millions are dead.

Standing up to evil is a responsibility that everyone has.

The problem is that Obama and his advisers don’t think that the regime is evil, or that they’d rather sit back and do nothing because they need someone to talk with.

Obama’s policy on Iran has been rapproachment with the Ahmadinejad regime, and now it’s been laid bare that it is as evil as everyone other than Obama and the leftists have been saying all along.

Perhaps Obama is letting France and Germany take the lead on criticizing Iran so that he can sweep in later to make some conciliatory gesture? Or, more likely, he doens’t have a clue what to do and is hoping that events solve matters for him.

Had he stood up and said that the US supports democracy everywhere and that we urge the Iranians to avoid violence in solving their electoral difficulties, much bloodshed could be avoided.

Meanwhile, Mousavi and some of his top allies are saying that they’re prepared for martyrdom.
