It's all unfolding as history tells it will. Weak President of the United States and the rogue regimes of the the world are unafraid to act. North Korea feels free to lash out, unafraid of US consequences. And Iran is free to suppress an uprising. The protesters get no support from the US. It's going to be a very long presidential term. And much harm will be done in the world before it's over. Krauthammer on Obama and Iran:
---------------
All hangs in the balance. The Khamenei regime is deciding whether to do a Tiananmen. And what side is the Obama administration taking? None. Except for the desire that this “vigorous debate” over election “irregularities” not stand in the way of U.S.-Iranian engagement on nuclear weapons.
Even from the narrow perspective of the nuclear issue, the administration’s geopolitical calculus is absurd. There is zero chance that any such talks will denuclearize Iran. The only hope for a resolution of the nuclear question is regime change.
That’s our fundamental interest. And our fundamental values demand that America stand with demonstrators opposing a regime that is the antithesis of all we believe.
And where is our president? Afraid of “meddling.” This from a president who fancies himself the restorer of America’s moral standing in the world.
