While the protestors in Iran continue to risk their lives to stand for freedom, they are being beat, gassed and helicopters are dumping acid on them too. All of their means of communicating with the outside world have been shut down, but a few grainy videos have made it through websites like twitter and youtube. This video shows a young beautiful girl who was beat by the Iranian police, and then shot in the chest for protesting. She died soon after the video was taken. Her name is not known, but she has taken on the name of "Neda" meaning voice, and is seen as a martyr for their cause. And while this craziness goes on, Obama, the supposed champion of human rights, sits idly by enjoying his celebrity and media-ass-kissing over his fly swatting skills. The administration doesn't want to get into it about Iran, because they wanted to wait for the 'recount' and since it revealed that Ahmadinejad 'won', it's all fair right? First of all, how could they have expected the Khameini to do a fair recount, and secondly, it doesn't matter who won, when citizens are being burned, beat, shot and killed-he needs to at least support them verbally---you know, as a "citizen of the world," that he says he is.
This is what "president" Ahmadinejad has to say about the protests,:
“Some people are sentimental and become excited," the Iranian president said. “I compared it to a soccer match. Their team has not won. I don't think we’ll have any serious challenges.”
This is the man that denies the Holocaust ever happened, while wishing it currently would. This is the man that liberal universities in this country, like Columbia, respect and invite to speak.
And while North Korea continues to threaten WWIII, isn't it ironic that we have sent the U.S.S. John Mccain (honoring Senator Mccain's father/grandfather) to intercept the North Korean ship, Kang Nam leaving the coast of China with what is probably weapons of war. I hope Obama sees that not everything is negotiable. These people are evil and hate us no matter who is president. Please stop worrying about socializing health care, and worry about protecting our country. Whatcha think about that, Gibbs?
UPDATE: Good job Obama, after a week of 'no comment' he finally issued a statement condemning the violence in Iran. He reminds Ahmadinejad that the world is watching and, "it must respect the dignity of its own people and govern through consent, not coercion."

Crazy! Man that makes me sick.
i know--it's really hard to watch. i don't know how anything will be solved now, but some are calling for a new voting method, but who can be trusted in their government? iran has the largest number of jews in the middle-east aside from Israel, and you know they aren't voting for someone who wants to "wipe israel off the map." Scary.
