Agreed, many of the opposition probably have played large roles in Iranian events in the last decade – nuke development, Hez and Hamas, killing Americans in Iraq, etc.

But the enemy of my enemy is my friend; and at some point, we must be able to turn former enemies into allies. See the U.S. Civil War and Iraq’s Sunni insurgents.

Any crack in the dam of “Death to America” and “Wipe Israel off the map” has to be welcomed, though perhaps with semi-open arms. History is replete with men of ill repute who were able to change their spots in the midst of crisis (see Han Solo in Star Wars). Mousavi has defied Khameini; just for that, I’ll give the bastard the benefit of the doubt for a while.

IF the thugs are using axes, sticks and knives, surely Iranian citizens also have access to those things. And there has to be hell of a lot more pissed-off citizens than there are thugs.

(The equation of the Holocaust that is always mind-blowing is 6 million dead Jews, killed off by how many hundred Nazi’s.)

President Obama is learning his high school history lessons while President of the United States of America.

He is ignorant of reality, and thus frozen in time and space. He is ignorant of accepted history, thus he has no scholarship to base moves upon. His history is a history created by fad and desires.

The difference between stupid and ignorance is that stupid means you do not know the topic, admit it. and hopefully rectify it; ignorance means that you think you are well informed and move on your stupidity like a bull in a china shop.

Regardless, Iran is a test of Theocracy, it is also a test for Obama.

I don’t think he studied for it.

And he does not go for the ultimate winning side, he will choose factions that will buy into his narcissism and give him the adulation he craves, his only scruples are to weigh the gullibility against the power of the faction he might sides with at any moment. He would be trying to seduce his own destroyer has he rounded on him.

Wretchard, to me you constantly appear not to to take the full measure of Obama.

Has it ever occurred to you that he is on the payroll of these monsters who you fear are getting the wrong message? Barring that, are you sure that this is not just the message he wants to send?

Obama means to have the end of us, one way or another.

We have placed a insane viper of a man over us.
