[img]1|left|||no_popup[/img]I wish I were in Tehran this morning instead of West Los Angeles.
If you ever have had a hankering to be present at historic events, then you may want to join me.
Iran probably is the next land where authentic American-style freedom, liberation, and possibly even democracy, will break out.
No thanks to their inarticulate enemy in the White House.
For more than five weeks since the crooked Iranian election of June 12, orchestrated by the crazed mullahs, an army of recently minted and longstanding Persian freedom fighters has been waiting, breathlessly, for the right signal to strike down the corrupt religious leadership that has pulled all of the strings since the 1979 overthrow of the Shah.
Last month’s fixed Iranian election — the nutty mullahs said they counted more than 40 million paper ballots from far-flung precincts in less than 4 hours — was even a worse affront than Franken’s filching of Coleman’s senatorial victory in Minnesota last November.
Keep Good Guys, Bad Guys Straight
Iran’s gutty freedom fighters are not to be confused with the masses of evil Palestinian terrorists who, handily, call themselves “freedom fighters.”
Traditionally, courageous revolutionaries such as the Persian freedom fighters have known they could look in the direction of America for spiritual and psychological succor at least.
Not this time, baby.
Even though Los Angeles hosts one of the largest Persian populations on earth outside of Tehran, even though desperate, mullah-fleeing Persians have been pouring into this country for 30 years, the offbeat President Barack Obama has remained strangely silent. And you know what the opposite of bravery is.
Mr. Obama has reacted like a man walking into the teeth of a 100 mph blizzard and asking, with seeming sincerity, “What snow?”
Even though a slow child could deduce how the corrupt mullahs have killed some and muzzled other freedom fighters, President Obama, like a windup doll, has reiterated with monotonous stiffness:
The style and content of governing America has changed dramatically since President Bush stepped down last January.
About what you would expect from a narcissist who wrote two self-adoring autobiographies before he had done anything more serious than community organizing.
Freedom fighters who used to be able to count on American moral support have discovered there is a stranger in the White House. The stranger has made it clear traditional friendly alliances are as out-of-date as horse-drawn wagons.
With distressing frequency, Mr. Obama is overwhelmed, maddeningly out-thought and out-maneuvered by medium-speed and lower-ranking leaders.
Please Slow Down the World for Me
Don’t you think it is peculiar that nearly every government leader in the sensible sections of the world realizes these brave Persians are committed to fighting to the death to gain their freedom, except for Mr. Obama?
A cynic would say that judging from his odd, stand-offish non-response, the normally ubiquitous Mr. Obama must think those are Jews, rather than fellow Muslims, trying to overthrow the hoodlum-run Iranian government.
Philosophically, the iron-fisted, hot-tempered President Obama appears to be in almost perfect concurrence with Ahmadinejad, the Smiling Dwarf, who holds Iran by the throat, which explains a lot. That is an astounding observation.
Not coincidentally, dear reader, the newspapers and television screens are as devoid of Iranian news as President Know Nothing.
The President and the Dwarf appear to have made an offstage a pact between their two countries that they will talk about as soon as the present nastiness is blown away by a hurricane of non-statements.
Already judged a fool by most European and most Latin American leaders, Mr. Obama now broadly is seen as a willing tool of the worst government thugs in the Middle East, his fellow Muslims.
It is, however, the kind of broken-glass company in which the President grew up, a milieu in which he is comfortable.
When stressed, you summon the boys with brass knuckles.
For protective cover back home, Mr. Obama is doing what the hoodlums in Chicago have done for their political patrons for a century — distract the peasants with a side story about the enemy. They never will deduce the difference.
This is what each new iteration of Palin and Cheney has been about. Every time the heat is turned up on the President, a new Cheney or Palin storyline magically appears. Presto.
The President had some timely help this month with a distraction story.
When the criminal President of Honduras, Zelaya, was tossed out of office, Mr. Obama, with the connivance of his Marxist pillow pal Chavez of Venezuela, once again backed the bad guy instead of the forces for freedom.
By looking away and flicking off the Iran crisis as if it were a nettlesome horsefly reposing atop his confused head, Mr. Obama appears to be committing one of the monumental gaffes in recent Washington history.
Mr. Obama’s unaccountable distancing of America from the brave stand being taking by Persian freedom fighters ranks as the oddest decision yet by a 6-month-old administration that has compiled a stack of
peculiar, child-like responses to global crises.
There are two logical explanations for Mr. Obama’s queer withdrawal from the Iranian crisis — his sympathy for fellow Muslim hardliners, who believe in rule by fist rather than consent of the people, and he is flatly overwhelmed.
