Can we talk about Iran?

[Believer1997]

We can talk about Iran until we are all out of breath - it won't change a thing. Pray that God's Will be accomplished there. If the US gets involved or even issues statements in support of those protesting - the US is interferring. If the US stays quiet and monitors the situation - it isn't doing "enough"... it's a no win situation. Those people are going to have to take their government back - it's up to them. We have wars on two fronts and another one brewing in NK - our domestic affairs are in critical shape right now and between the economy, job loss, homelessness, hopelessness... I don't think that Ms. Huffington really has the nerve to expound on the level of involvement or non-involvement the US needs to adopt. As I see it - all we can do for Iran is pray...

Neb, you most likely will not hear from the UN as a whole because, as the name states, they are not united in their stance against Iran. There will be nations who voice their opinion, but the UN, unless untied in their resolve, can not act. Not sure why, but it is my guess that these nations don't want anyone telling them what to do, so they don't want to mess with any other country. As many of us believe, the UN was a good idea, but ended up being a joke. When they do decide to do something, does anyone really listen and care?

If any nation that is not a Muslim nation tries to do anything, it will be completely turned against and made to look like an oppressive nation. The Muslim world don't want to get involved in the inner affairs of another nation, so we have a bunch of evil happening and nobody doing anything physically about it to stop them.

Prayer is the only thing we can do.

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.

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

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

Their trying to find other ways to get under Israels skin! There really isn't much the US can do with Iran. As much as I dislike Obama I do think he is doing the right thing and not trying make them any madder, I think that if he does there might be more of a crack down and also there might be counter rallies and such screaming about how the US is trying to take over. We don't 'do' anything about the Chinese, North Korea or heck any of the other countries that do much worse to their citizens well except set up sanctions and that certainly hasn't done much to improve anything.

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

North Korea.

Actually those issues are connected.

Obama's Odd Response to Iran

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?

All our government can do is condemn the awful treatment of the Iranian people...that's it, moral support. The U.S. can't appear to be backing an uprising. That would not only be bad for the region, it would also be bad for the movement that will, eventually, overturn the government of Iran.

This silence, incidentally, was explained by his not wanting to meddle in Iran's domestic affairs. Excuse me? Since when does the US, the superpower, refrain from meddling in the domestic affairs of foreign countries? In the past it meddled in Iran a great deal. And there is no lack of other examples of blatant meddling, not just rhetorical, by American administrations. Ask, for example, historians of South America. Peek, if you can, into the archives of the CIA. But in the affair of the uprising in Iran, Obama suddenly forgot his art of rhetoric that won him applause after the "Cairo speech."

Yeah....and how has that worked out? Latin America is drifting toward being a collection of dictatorships and Iran has been a terrorist theocracy for 30 years. So what now? More of the same?

[Matthitjah]

I believe that Irans leadership has been very busily about cursing Israel. Because they have sought to overturn and eliminate Israels Government, so too will they go.

It's simply Gods Word;

That is what happened when Democrats tried their approach of appeasing thugs.

If we would do as this author has suggested, there would still be freedom in Iran and Venezuela...but no....too many dang "moderates" siding with the leftists/socialists/democrats (same thing) and here we are.
