Can we talk about Iran?

[nebula]

Well, I know we can, but there's no chatter going on between posters in the News section.

For some reason, I've been riveted to what's going on, but I can't find anyone who is keeping up with it. Yet I wish we would.

I've been checking with the Huffington Post Live Blogging site that has regular updates.

Today, there are less videos to show since the gov't has been arresting people with cameras of any kind. A lot of buzz is coming through that today was a mass slaughter.

Actually, the slaughter has been going on since Saturday, maybe earlier. Don't believe the "17" death toll. The descriptions coming through from the people indicate it's much higher than that.

But now I'm getting angry at Huffington Post for continuing to defend Obama's (non)actions when they have videos of Iranians saying, "Please help us!"

(What is with that?!)

OK, no, I have no clue what the best thing for the US to do would be. But when an interviewer hears a woman crying, "Help us!" he should have at least asked her what they would like for us to do. Don't you think?

Anyone want to comment?

This is just my opinion, but I believe The United States has more pressing issues.

North Korea.

North Korea.

What America needs is a Jonah . . . . repentance is America's most pressing issue.

All we can do is give moral support. We simply can't start another war in the Middle East; not with N.Korea making noises like they are. Our resources may be needed there. We don't need to give the Arab world a cause to rally around either and that's what will happen if the U.S. comes out in support of revolution over there (even though Iran is not an Arab country, they're still muslims.)

North korea is doing what the russians and to a lesser extent the chinese are telling them.Russia+china have other concerns at the moment so they use NK.

In iran the various clerics are playing each other for their own reasons and people are of no importance. The US and others dont want toget involved in anyway at this stage.Iran has oil,nuclear,young population,is large both as a country+population and are not arabs.

The USA politicians or any other for that matter dont care for iranians and how else can it be when they dont for their own citizens - except if they want somethin from us.

I don't know what there is to say about this matter. I'm just sort of disengaged from the whole thing because what is there that we can do for them? What is there that the US can do? Right now the US is stretched between Afghanistan, Iraq, monitoring NK and trying to get the economy back to the way it should be. Resources are stretched.

If anything.. it should be the United Nations and other first world countries who should step in and stand up to do something. I'm really disappointed Canada isn't doing anything.

Look at Israel

And At The Arab Families

Trapped By The Muslim Nations

In Territories Ruled By Islamic Torturers And Murders

And At The Lack Of Truthful Press Coverage And Then Ask Me If I Believe

The Press Really Care About The Enslaved Of This World

And About The Slaughter Of The Youth Of Persia

Or The Possible Use Of The Bomb

Against The Lands Of Jacob

And US

I Pray For Persia

Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD Psalms 118:25(a)

In Jesus

Love

I don't want war either. Nor do I believe that is the right thing to do.

But what is?

And what does "moral support" look like? I mean, what is it exactly? A thought? A feeling? Is thinking well thoughts of them going to help them?

Oh yeah - where is the UN in all of this?

And how come I don't hear anyone asking about them?
