Death to Dictatorship: U.S. Must Support Revolution in Iran
One of the most underused words in the Obama administration is “freedom.” The domestic agenda of free stuff, taxing the rich, proping the unions, and massive government in our lives takes priority over the world’s best image of America: Freedom. Big government is a conflict to free enterprise, so that the sympathetic nod to the Iranian mullahs is to tsk-tsk the riots and vote “present.”
Russia has the oil and air defense contracts in Iran and China has the oil and pipe line contracts. Both are in much greater proximity to Iran with more at stake in the outcome. America has little to lose and much to gain against those three countries by voicing the call to freedom. Obama can afford some more hypocracy by pitching freedom while he is busy at home redistributing the wealth.
