Side With the People Of Iran

The choice between the people and the mullahs should be an easy one for President Barack Obama; he should leave no doubt that he supports Iran's Green Revolution as a step toward fulfilling the will of the Iranian people.

Side with the Peoples of Iran?
Democracy is not the sole property of the kafirs. Muslims should and must practice democracy. Bush and Blair fought for peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan. They are proved to be liars. They still think that they were right. Now Obama is fighting for the peoples of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Can someone fight for the peoples of Palestine? No these people will fight only for bastards of Israel. So leave it. Go for a fight and that will decide how America and Israel exist. You are the liars. You were the liars. You will remain liars. You do not know truth. You are the fuel of HELL. Only then you know how to speak the truth
Correction: SIDE WITH THE BASTARDS OF IRAN

Any interfernce by Obama in Iran will only benefit the jews whose "sympthy" with the anarchists burning cars on the streets of Tehran asre crocdile tears.

Obama should side with the occupied and the oppressed Palestinians: 5.5 million in occupied Arab historic Palestine and 6 million refugees who were ethnically cleansed by the invading and racist and apartheid jews.

Obama is wise not to interfer in the internal affairs of Iran:the 1953 CIA engineered coup of the democratically elected Mosadeq government is still alive.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S APPEASEMENT FOREIGN POLICIES WEAKEN THE U.S.; HE SIDED WITH IRANIAN BRUTAL REGIME!!!

Coward liar Barack HUSSEIN Obama "Apologist in chief", how can he keep his nonsense promise during his campaign, that is, negotiating with U.S. enemies such as North Korea and Iran, which have never respected any treaty with U.S., especially when North Korea just launched many missile and nuclear tests and planned to fire missile toward Hawaii, not mentioning illegally arrested and sentenced two American journalists Laura Ling and Eunu Lee to twelve years of labor, while Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, an extremist who called for Israel to be wiped off the map and denied the holocaust, was just re-elected by fraud. Is Obama going to bow to Kim Jong Il and Ahmadinejas as he did to King Abdulla of Saudi Arabia to gain his peace deals? Is he willing to convert to Islam, his Kenyan father and Indonesian step father's religion, to meet Osama Bin Laden's requirement that in order to end the Iraq war, U.S. troop withdrawal is not enough, Americans must reject their democratic system and embrace Islam? Just recently, Obama said that he would support Iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy with rigorous inspections, giving a green light to Teheran's ambituous uranium enrichment program, which can be used for its discreet nuclear bomb development program as well, without suffering sanctions and economic isolation as it currently endures. Does Obama want Iran to become another North Korea using its nuclear power to terrorize the U.S and its allies? Worst still, Obama refused to show support for pro-democracy protesters and denounce the brutal regime for the deaths of seven demontrators, fearing to be seen as interfering in Iran's internal affairs so that he could not pursue a nuclear deal with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country's supreme leader. In fact, Obama sided with the regime, citing that there was not a bit of difference between the two candidates, a moderate Mir Hossein Mousavi and hardcore extremist Ahmadinejad. A big mouth for change at home, he does not want to see any change in Iran. Is he going to turn a blind eye to another Tianamen Square massacre committed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard? As for a Palestinian state demanded by Obama, it will undoubtedly soon become a TERRORIST state under control of terrorist militant group Hamas, which is the most powerful and popular force with its goal to destroy Israel and which won a majority seats in the current Palestinian National Authority in 2006 election and ousted Fatah militant group of Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas of Gaza in 2007. Last but not least, Obama ordered to stop waterboarding tactic used by CIA, even it worked well on terrorist suspects like Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-describer planner of 9-11 attacks who provided CIA with valuable information, preventing more 9-11 attacks and saving thousands of American lives.

You know that the only person benefiting from US meddling would be Ahmadinejat. Bet that’s exactly why you are advocating it. You want Ahmadinejat elected so Israel can use the boogeyman to continue his aggression. Shameless!

Another load of rubbish and another lot of insincere aligator tears.

Try to listen to Jimmy Carter's recent comments about Israel's treatment of Gazza and that alone will show that you Israelis do not meet the minimum standards of human and civil behaviour to be included in any kind of debate, let alone your opinions about another sovereign country that has been around for 25 centuries before your fabricated Israel.

If you think the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine was a success, how come they are bankrupt and the fastest falling economy in Europe now?

The Minute you Mr. Singer or your Government starts to care for the poorest in Gaza, then I will believe you that you care about the Iranians. However, as your Govenrment and your employer, the Jerusalem Post, both displayed blood-curling delight over the events in Gaza dec-jan 2008/9 I believe that you are dishonest in your above posting.
