Hundreds of thousands of Iranians are taking to the streets since they realized their votes didn't matter to their government. Their Ayatollahs hand pick who they want to be the President of Iran and their elections are a sham.

Although the protests started in response to a rigged election, they have grown to the demand for freedom from an oppressive regeim. The regeim has responded with gunfire and murder. They have also reached a statement that the protests are punishable by death. Still the calls for freedom continue.

The American media has responded by promoting the Obama administration’s view that it could do more to help demonstrators by staying on the sidelines than actively offering rhetorical support.

President Obama says publicly encouraging those taking to the streets in Iran will only backfire by allowing the Islamic regime to paint protesters as tools of America.

The American Spectator has interviewed Amir Fakhravar. Amir Fakhravar was jailed and tortured in Iran for advocating democracy and speaking against the Supreme Leader. Fakhravar fled to the U.S. in 2006 where he currently lives in exile. He maintains close ties to the reform movement in Iran. He says this approach is dead wrong. And he speaks with authority.

Contrary to most reports in the American press, he said the demonstrators he is in contact with in Iran are desperate for Barack Obama to make a forceful statement reassuring them that we stand with those who are striving for freedom.

“Right now, the people in Iran are disappointed,” he said in a telephone interview with TAS. He recounted a recent conversation with a female actively involved in the current protests in Iran who asked him, “Is it possible for us to send a letter to Barack Obama and tell him, ‘Don’t be quiet’?”

He also spent several years in prison in the earlier part of this decade, during which time he said he drew inspiration from President Bush’s words in support of Iranian dissidents.

“We had a lot of hope at the time,” he recalls. “We felt the leaders of the free world wanted to help us, and were looking at us. That was very helpful when you are in jail for fighting for freedom and democracy.”

I (Angry Man) am stunned by Obama’s non-response in the wake of the events in Iran post-election.

 

Thousands call for help and encouragement in Iran today and Barack Obama sticks his head in the sand and hopes it will all go away.

Barack, you are the leader of the free world and the President of the strongest nation in the world and have been proclaimed to be "like God" by the editor of Newsweek.

Your silence is like an elephant in the room that the press ignores.

In 1979 President Carter's ridiculous antics allowed the mad mullahs to gain power and destroy a loyal ally with the Sha. Now in 2009, 30 years later, the Democrats are letting the freedom seeking people of Iran down again.

This is the best opportunity the Iranians have had for their god-given freedom that has been taken away by man and the press is busy with reports on swatting flies and the white house dog Bo.

Its time to stand up and be a man and a leader Barack. Have Jonathan Favreau write you a freedom speech, fire up that teleprompter and get in the game.

Voting "present" is NOT an option on this one.
