This makes Rihanna and Chris B’s situation look like chilled latte on a hot August afternoon. Not making a joke, this really saddens me…

Women get treated in other countries, especially Muslim countries like soul-less animals. No wonder why the men in Middle East are usually gay. They don’t look twice at women. Hmph.

While we are here living our lives there are people being gunned down while fighting for freedom. I am against war for profit. I am against multiple tours for soliders who are blessed enough to come back home. That being said I can not help but feel that in some way the U.S. needs to help. If we are going to fight for something fight with meaning. If a leader can only lead by m*****acring his/her followers who exatly is he/she leading? It is the will of the people that governs man (leadership).

I’m glad Bossip finally decided to post this. There are too many people here who have no idea of what’s going on in the world outside of what’s happening in their little tiny *****e on Earth.

The Iranian Government issued a statement saying on Friday (I believe) that if people were going the protests which are in response to a rigged election, that it would turn violent and that they were “bringing it on themselves.” Mind you, the police and the Iranian Army aren’t getting involved in it, it’s the Basij. It deterred some people but others just became more enraged. People were actually saying their goodbyes to their family and friends the night before the rally. Yesterday, there was footage that some people got together and blew up the Basij’s headquarters in response.

The scary thing is, as corrupt and hard-line as the Iranian government is–they are not even THE most hard line.

As bad as stuff is here, and it’s pretty bad…remember it could always be worse.

@Beast Master

Ideally, it’d be nice to help but unfortunately there is a lot of protocol that must be followed before taking military action against another nation. I know Bush did it, but he was wrong for it which is why that whole thing turned out to be one giant mess.

Usually, internal conflicts are left for countries to work out themselves. As far as this situation goes, though, it’s actually unique in the sense that while countries have their revolutions and the like, it’s never gotten this kind of attention. Now, with basic modern technology so advance, you can shoot video with an average camera phone and post it up on You Tube, like done with the death of this poor lady. That was actually up on the Internet and getting MAJOR views within 5 hours.

Agreed, and well said.

The United States has had our own Civil Rights movement (still so) and now Iran is having their own. It is not the place of any other nation to intervene at this time, and to put it bluntly, we simply can’t afford it. Neither with troops or money.

The people of this country are doing what’s necessary for change and as gruesome as it is, it is also refreshing to see people willing to sacrifice it all in the name of what’s true and fair.

What is happening in Iran is being orchestrated by outside forces hoping to destabilize the Iranian society and cause a public upheaval of discourse of a sanctioned Iranian election to be viewed by the World in an effort to show that Iranians want to be liberated like Iraqi’s were by the AmeriKKKan coalition of wanton violence under the guise of US lies.

Too bad AmeriKKKan’s sat back on their collective fat *****es and let Bush steal(as per the GAO)two elections in 2000 & 2004.

@Topical English

Who do you think is inciting the opposition groups in Iran? America agents? It’s not like the CIA hasn’t overthrown an elected Iranian Government before(see Iran 1953). Israeli agents- Mossad?

Btw- domestic instability is a pillar of war, recognize game, before the actual conflict in some pre combat war theaters.

So, let me get this straight, are you saying that the US is instrumental in stirring the pot, and the fact that Mir-Hossein Mousavi for a while now had a strong following in Tehran and various other Iranian cities has nothing to do with the fact that current Iranian Leadership has already admitted that in 50 cities there were more votes than actual voters? Or the obviously tampered with poll numbers that were incremented *perfectly* released by the Iranian Government somehow had something to do with the US? If so, please explain how, especially seeing that the Ayatollah and the Religious Leaders (who are the TRUE LEADERS of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or any elected “president” is in actuality just a figurehead) are in direct opposition of the United States.

While I am aware of various coups that had US or Western World backing, both public and not so public, it doesn’t exactly seem plausible in this instance, considering that:

A) Ahmadinejad, under the direction of the Ayatollah, has opened talks with Russia. They are in negotiations.

B) Iran borders the Caspian Sea, which is home to natural resources for Russia.

The US does NOT want conflict with Russia at this point and time in any way, shape or form, so it’s highly unlikely you’ll have the US stirring the pot in this particular instance.

Oh, without a doubt, the Republicans I believe are *trying* to get on board, but it has yet to happen. I think Obama’s statement regarding the situation (How he’s concerned about a government getting violent with peaceful protestors and that the world is watching, etc) and the Republicans getting on his ***** about it (saying he should be more encouraging to the protesters and essentially, stir the pot) kind of suggest that we’re not involved in this issues as we might have been in issues past.

@me… if you truly believe that you’ve obviously never heard of Zbigniew Brzezinski and don’t know that “color revolution” is a CIA term for subversive destabilization… ever heard of the Pink, Rose, Blue, or Orange “Revolutions”… If you really think Obama is anything more than a sock puppet… you’ve never heard of Brzezinski and were probably unaware of the fact that Henry Kissinger was Barack the Sock Puppets First boss… seriously this ***** is WWF… “we” just got rid of Stone Cold George Bush and they replaced him with Barock Says… the problem is I don’t smell what Barock is cooking… I know he’s a puppet so I don’t give a ***** what the ***** reads off of the teleprompter… Brzezinski is the King of I want a war with Russia… you gotta get that republicans… democrats… left… right bull***** out your head… it’s neo-con… neo-lib… and they work together… Bush II and the repubs couldn’t have come in and actually exercise the powers provided under the U. niting and S. trengthening A. merica by P. roviding A. ppropriate T. ools R. equired to I. ntercept and O. bstruct T. errorism Act of 2001 anymore than Billy C. could have p*****ed the P.A.T.R.I.O.T.

Also, who is the US supporting then? Mir-Hossein Mousavi and the uprising? Why then, would the opposition–Iranian’s leadership and the Ayatollah..actually admit to rigging their election?

No doubt, the CIA does have connections within Iran, however they are not smart enough to set something off like this, nor does this situation really help the US given the number of possible outcomes.

I am so happy that Obama is our president and not McCain. Given our history of intervention in the Middle East and the fact that we overthrew a democratically elected goverment in Iran in the 50’s, he is not saying anything and he even said that the opposition candidate is just as bad.

He is trying to do everything he can to show that the U.S. is not behind the uprising. Anything we do to support the protestors would be counterproductive. Iranians, justifiably, want us to stay out of it.



eddiedollars215

DDub (keepin' it real since Wesley's mugshot)

6/22/09, 14:55:pm

Whoa. Hold on. The revolution that brought this current power structure in Iran was a result of them ousting the US backed regime back in the 50’s. The people demonstrating this time around are fighting for more civil freedoms and a disdain for what is widely seen as a rigged election. This revolt has very little to do with the US. That’s why Barack has a hands off approach. He doesn’t want to feed into the propaganda.
The current Iran leaders are trying to pin it on us and the Republicans are trying to get us involved. BO ain’t falling for it.

Again. These demonstrations have nothing to do with US. This is purely an Iranian issue–much like our civil rights movement. We don’t benefit from getting in the middle because the leaders of Iran can manipulate what is a very substantial hate among a a big swath of the Iran population which would in turn doom the protesters and their cause.

CNN has got very good coverage and showed the unedited version of the girl dying. Her death will carry more weight with the Iranian people and further the oppositions cause than Obama’s words.



DDub (keepin' it real since Wesley's mugshot)

6/22/09, 14:59:pm

And it’s disgusting to see Republicans use this situation as a political tool to paint the president as soft (Jimmy Carter-like). The opposition has actually ask that he not get involved, because it would be detrimental to their cause.

If anything, you’d think people would be more concerned with N Korea prepping to launch a friggin’ missile at Hawaii. That could easily spell a 3rd war.

You are the one that has the simplistic view of events. To you, it seems, everything is done by the U.S. There is no event that happens in the world that does not go exactly to the plan of the U.S. government. You must not have had much interaction with the government. T.H.E.Y. cannot handle a simple transaction without f*cking it up. There is no way T.H.E.Y. could manage things in the way you describe.

My sympathy & support to the Iranians risking their lives to change their country.That being said-Neda & the other protesters may end up dying in vain.At it’s core this uprising is about one set of *****-backward Muslim religious leaders battling for control against another set of *****-backward Muslim religious leaders.Many people protesting in the street are in fact looking to fundamentally change the way the country is run.One can only hope that Iran becomes a nation

N. Korea gets most of its aid from China (Russia, to a much lesser extent). It makes money off of arms sales and money laundering. They want to be a nuclear power so that they can use that status symbol as a way to leverage more aid from the world community. The missiles may be shoddy and probably wouldn’t make it but it’s a provocation. Their trying to bully the world to ease sanctions. Japan nor SK wouldn’t benefit from an irate NK (especially if they can get a fully functional nuke). They would weaponize and that would make China nervous.

At some point China have to intervene more than they are because they see themselves as the next superpower and they don’t want that region to descend into war.

Yea they look pathetic to those paying close attention to what’s happening. But if they can get the average American to buy into it, they can start tarnishing Obama’s image.
Still, this is a pattern that persists. The Neo Conservative ideology of spreading democracy got us into the second war with Iraq. The first Bush decided against the regime change because Powell and others pushed back against them. Of course they got W to oust Saddam and now we got this mess.
Had they left Saddam in power it would have been a very different story with Iran because they kept each other in check militarily. We could have saved billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives.

I go back and forth, not wanting to believe that Barack is a puppet, when I really KNOW better…Wantig to believe he’s for us, when in reality there is not us. It ’s just the good guys against the bad and Kissinger is a former ***** himself and I can’t believe that the Americans let him dictate policy, without any criticism, issues..

I feel so sorry about Neda. This whole weekend I was watching the struggle. Feeling torn because i do believe in freedom of speech, sorry that they are being oppressed. Knowing that man can only take over the entirw world,through oppression…

@ eddiedollars215

My view is less black and white than yours. The United States, which has often supported democracy, overthrew the democratically elected goverment of Iran to control oil. The dictator who was then put in place by the U.S. (The Shah) was overthrown by the people and replaced with a religious government which was in some ways more repressive than the last. Currently, the protestors are trying to get a fair chance at electing their candidate. Their candidate was one of the ones pre selected by the ruling religious elite and was one of the main figures in the revolution against the Shah. The U.S. sympathizes with the protestors, who are supporting a candidate who will continue to try to build a nuclear weapon and threaten Israel and who helped overthrow the U.S.’ chosen dictator. There is nothing black and white about this history. All sides can be looked at as good or bad.

6/22/09, 17:48:pm

I think we should stay out of it for a couple reason.

1. We’re already too far into the middle east we need to step back.

2. The US has been accused (for good reason) over the years of meddling in Irans leadership. I don’t agree with any of the moves we’ve done in the past so why bother with them now.

3. You can’t force our style of “democracy” on another nation.

4. The people have to be willing to fight for what they believe in we can’t give them anything.

5. We wouldn’t like any country telling us how to handle our elections or the aftermath of them (2000 & 2004). Please believe if we acted like the Iranians in the street the police would be beating our *****es too.

5. We don’t know if there is really election fraud. Just like every other nation there are different cultures and beliefs. The Iranians that live in the city have a different view point than Iranians in rual areas.

6. Don’t believe the hype coming from the republicans about Obamas inaction. The opposition leader isn’t more pro-America than Ahmadinajad. This is only another lame reason for them to nip at his heels. The Republicans wouldn’t do anything either and if they did they would only make it worse by suggesting that Isreal attack Iran during this chaos.

I listened to that speech and some in the audience laughed when he said that. He wasn’t serious. Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger all served as National Security Advisors prior to General Jones. General Jones was giving props to his predecessors. He was trying to be nice to Kissinger and he should have been more careful. Every loony conspiracy site on the internet now has taken that quote as the gospel. Kissinger, Scowcroft and Berger all had very different views on foreign policy. Brent Scowcroft came out very publically against the Iraq war and since he was very close to Bush Sr., many thought he was speaking for Bush Sr. Sandy Berger served under Clinton and was far less hawkish than Kissinger.
