You should try to get it straight from them, stop believing everything you're told you must believe.

People are being killed over there. Killed by their own government.

True, the big globalist corporations are what really calls the shots. And they control this president just like they controlled the previous president.

Go back to sleep... real life is just kinda complicated
The actions of our Dear Leader brings tears to my eyes taking me back to the wonderful days of Neville Chamberlain, Munich and peace in our time. Dear Leader trusts and knows he can always make deals with dictators.

If Dear Leader is approached for aid to Darfur I trust Dear Leader would follow your advice by taking the mature, statesmanlike position, idoing the right thing in refusing all aid asking what is in it for us?

People are dying in Iran and dying in Darfur, what's the difference?

Mousavi (400 others were denied approval to appear on the ballot). As Prime Minister, Mousavi initiated Iran's nuclear program and during this campaign defending that very same program!

Yes, he's better by hairs that Ahmadinejad but only by hairs.

This isn't a protest for regime change, it is a protest for change in the administration.

While in the end this may lead to a drastic change in Iran, I wouldn't bet the rent money on that prospect. The protest aren't demanding an end to the rule of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, it is not demanding the abolishment of the Guardian Council.

This is not East Germany or any of the former eastern block countries, read a little bit, learn a bunch more, and you mind sound like you have a clue about what you are talking about.

Start here:

Is Iran ripe for revolution? - By Daniel Byman - Slate Magazine



To me this is about brave people daring to stand up for what they believe in at the threat of being beaten or killed.
I am not sure I would have the guts to do what they are doing to be honest.
The least Obama could do is say we are with you, but no, being the pansy
candy ass he is, he tries to "look good"
what a total jerk he is

Is this the same Iran that John McCain and his fellow conservatives wanted to bomb???

Now conservatives have taken Iran into their sympathetic bleeding hearts and use it as ammunition for an argument against Obama.

You people have no shame and no honor!!
