Let Freedom Ring

The events of the recent week in Iran following the rigged re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is very troubling. We all understand that the leadership in Iran is evil as accurately described by George W. Bush. For those not on board, there is mountains of video evidence for your review as election protesters are being murdered in the streets of Tehran.

Among the most striking is the murder captured on YouTube.com of a young lady, apparently named Neda, who has since become the face of the horrible events. She represents a good portion of the citizens of Iran, a young, well educated citizenry who longs for freedom, and is willing to die for it.

President Obama appears to fail to grasp this, until at least recently. He originally did not want to mettle in Iranian affairs ( he has no problem getting up in the face of others affairs as his recent meeting with Israel come to mind) even though the world can see the regime murdering its citizens. Now, he is appalled by the unjust actions. Finally, a journalist asked him about it, and he did not appreciate it one little bit. Take a listen to Major Garrett of, oh good heavens, FOX News:



Obama is quite testy about the situation as am I. We have invited dignitaries from this evil regime over for hot dogs on July 4, which I find inexplicable. Obama, elected proclaiming he will engage with, and legitimize, evil regimes such as Iran, feels strongly talking with these murderers will convince them to abandon their nuclear ambitions, thinking his soaring rhetoric will win the day. What a complete narcissist. And for any thoughts his recent apology stop in Cairo may have ignited the uprising, I will call it a long time coming and credit a new found freedom in neighboring Iraq and the evolution of technology including the internet and social networking sites which have become a vital element of the day.

Now, it appears Obama may recognize what we already knew. The leaders in Iran are nothing short of evil, and the head of the snake in the middle east. The people of Iran are much like us in that they long for freedom. Our goals in Iran should be to strongly support the people, and to seek the overthrow of the current regime.

Thankfully, behind the efforts of the protesters, the world is watching and even if the protesters are unsuccessful, the regime will be forever wounded by this uprising, which will not be the last. Freedom will rule!

Perhaps Obama could follow the steps of Ronald Reagan, who used rhetoric and policy to assist those seeking freedom around the world. Sean Hannity has a nice piece on this: Check it out.
