To the courage of the Iranian people.

I used to not like the Iranians but that was mostly due to the lieing two faced ameenajad..and how badly he treats the Good citizens of his own country..I have so much respect now for the courage and bravery of the iranian People to risk and endanger their lives to break free of such a cruel dicktitorial bunch of cruel rulers ..any government who forces the people to their rules and treats it's women so badly ..needs to be overthrown..It's time we dissmised these dictators their time has passed..we all just just want to live free and in peace..I am so proud and in awe of the people of Iran..I wish I could do something to help..Please remain strong and have courage ..The world is watching..I wish the world and other countrys could do more..I would gladly pay the price to have ameenajad assinated....I don't see how he can ever be taken serious as a leader or representative of the people of Iran ever again by any democratic country..chuk

May God do a mighty work in Iran

Greetings from San Antonio, Texas! I have followed the events up to, and after the election. I can only imagine the disappointment that must be felt. I commend you all for wanting your voices heard! In America it is called Freedom of Speech! Unfortunately, the freedoms we enjoy here were also paid for with blood! Such freedoms are not free, but earned, and at a very high cost. But they are worth the price!
My thoughts and prayers are for the Iranian People who want Democracy, not necessarily U.S. democracy, but the right to have their vote counted, the right to say what they wish, without threat of violence, and the right to live as one chooses!
You may have a rough road ahead, but it can be done!
Blessings!

thank you rosie

And I agree with you too Ostaad (go figure...:-)

Obama is playing it safe for sure but in the best interests for the Iranian PEOPLE. I do hope that he's standing ready if (or when) the PEOPLE decide they need help. Until then... watch and listen and pray.

Rosie. I want to mention here (as I will on the blog itself) that I support and agree with Marge's comments. You represent the American voice very well, with calm and very partial observations. We DO value your efforts. Thanks again from "our" side...:-). We love ya.

Even though his comments were

very cautious, still the Swiss intermediary was called in and the IR press issued statements of foreign meddling.

I can only imagine what it would've been like if he had said more than he did.

I will post the reactions from the press I think are interesting/important. Fpr instance I found it fascinating that the Journal and the Nation's editorials said almost the exact same thing.

But quite honestly, Shirin Ebadi probably knows more than all of them put together would be my guess. She has been in the belly of the beast since  time immemorial.

Obama is shrewd enough not to...

blow this golden opportunity to let the Iranian people to express themselves and show their opposition to the regime's reckless behavior, instead of giving the regime the the mother-of-all-excuses to crush the opposition. The contract between Obama's adroit treatment of the Iranian uprising, and that of the "bomb bomb Iran" McCain and other deranged neo-cons, is proof positive the American people made the right choice by electing him.
