Tuesday Newday Iran Elections

This weeks tuesday newsday asks about our feelings regarding the Iran elections and the chaos that has followed. I've been slow in responding to this one because I am conflicted over the whole affair. AFter all, our last three elections (George Bush twice and Obama) were won by hook and by crook. While the powers that be couldn't prove all the underhanded tactics Obama was using to steal this election, they knew he was doing it. But as they said his years as a community organizer taught him how to hide a lot of sins and illegal funds. As for George Bush it was so blatant even he never denied it. He just laughed at us. So, now we have Iran where the regime has taken over from an elected president and our president says little to nothing. In my humble opinion, it's because it would be hypocritical of him to come out against the illegal taking over of the presidency when he did the same thing - just in a more subtle way. As for what happens in Iran? Well, that's Iran's business. We need to allow them to settle their own affairs and worry about our home and country and the mess we're in right now. The rioting will stop, the people will calm down, and maybe they can work it out maturely and intelligently. So, in one sense I agree with Obama's hands off policy. But I also feel he's only hands off and soft on the Iran regime because he's afraid of what would come back to haunt him.
