Why Obama Doesn’t Support the Green Revolution | NewsReal Blog

Why Obama Doesn’t Support the Green Revolution | NewsReal Blog: "This is a follow-up to yesterday’s post, called “Obama’s Shame: Revolution Continues in Iran, Sound of Silence from White House.” When I decided to write that, I wanted to use the opportunity to explain why President Obama hasn’t condemned the violence committed by the Mad Mullahs in recent months. Because the post was long enough as it was, however, I didn’t quite get to that.

As I stated yesterday, nothing but the sound of silence has come from the White House ever since Iranian lovers of liberty and democracy declared war on the thugs who have oppressed them for the last three decades. This even though the U.S. has historically always been an example and inspiration for such those who love freedom, no matter where they live. Some defend Obama’s silence saying endorsing the Green Revolution will hurt, rather than help it. As I explained yesterday – and as my distinguished co-blogger here at NewsRealblog Peter Collier pointed out earlier today as well – this argument makes little sense.

If that’s true, and assuming Obama knows it, why then doesn’t he side with the protestors who are dying in the streets, brutally murdered by, as Peter put it rather well, “the obscene Iranian regime?”"
