Iranian Protestors Return to the Fight for Freedom and Ask President Obama to Take a Stand
This week tens of thousands of green-clad Iranian protestors resumed their struggle for freedom on the streets of Teheran.
An argument can be made that in remaining silent during the initial days of June’s protests, President Obama was denying the mullahs ammunition to delegitimize the protestors. But the demonstrators disagree: just this week they shouted, “Obama! Obama! Either with them or with us!”
By “them,” of course, they mean Iran’s mullahs, whose surprise announcements of greater nuclear development, obvious time-buying manipulations, and unwillingness to halt their nuclear quest, are making our President’s efforts to negotiate with them appear increasingly futile.
Time to take a stand for freedom, President Obama.
