Genocide or Massacre, US Repeating Mistakes of the Past
The New Media Journal ^ | June 26, 2009 | Frank Salvato

"We come here today partly in recognition of the fact that we in the United States and the world community did not do as much as we could have and should have done to try to limit what occurred...All over the world there were people like me sitting in offices who did not fully appreciate the depth and speed with which you were being engulfed by this unimaginable terror." – Bill Clinton in his apology to the Rwandan people for his lack of intervention during the Rwandan genocide of 1994.

"It is not productive, given the history of US-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling -- the US president, meddling in Iranian elections." – Barack Obama commenting on Iran’s stolen 2009 election.

Reports coming out of Iran state that a massacre took place on June 24, in Tehran’s Baharestan Square. Iranian basij, club-wielding militiamen, savagely attacked pro-freedom protesters, throwing some of them off a pedestrian bridge. They attacked them with batons, tear gas, bullets and axes. What was the catalyst for this slaughter? Their desire for liberty and freedom, rights guaranteed to every human being under Natural Law.

The fact that Iran doesn’t have the luxury of electronic voting or optical scanners for reading ballots – and that ballots are counted by hand in many locations outside of Iran’s urban centers – should have served as quantifying evidence – proof positive – that the Iranian mullahs and their Islamist regime staged a coup against the Iranian people, securing the mantle of illegitimacy. In light of this, many, including myself, feel that President Obama should have issued a more declarative statement in the moments immediately following Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s declared victory; a statement committing the intent of the United States to stand aligned with the pro-freedom forces inside Iran.

We need to ALL stand with the freedom-aspiring people of Iran! According to a former RG member, Mousavi DID win the election; the mullahs won’t let him have it!

Source: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/06/former_revolutionary_guard_mem.html?ft=1&f=103943429

” Right after the election, 11 o’clock at night, was a military coup because they went to (presidential candidate Mir Hossein) Mousavi’s headquarters — five persons from the Revolutionary Guard — and told him that, ‘Yes, the leader says that this is true, you have won the election, you are the elected president, but you can’t be the president. (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad should remain in the position.’

“And then they started to invent those fake numbers in Ministry of Interior. And right after that they started to arrest the people, to disconnect the country, to dismiss the reporters, and that is the reason that we call it a military coup.”

The NOW mafia did not attack bill clinton for abusing women, because by doing so, their real cause would be hurt. Such little things as rape and abuse of women by clinton, were not to stand in the way of the bigger picture. Likewise, the muslin obama has a “big picture” plan with iran, and will not let little things such as genocide get in the way of such “legacy building” goal.<


/ Anyway, the democrats put the mullahs in charge, but knocking out the Sha; they cannot go against their natural love for leftist/criminal regimes.

Oh please-—the best thing that could happen is another war between Muslims - like Shia and Sunni.

We need to stay out of Muslim crap.

Instead how about protecting the massacres of Christians all over the Muslim hell as we speak starting with the hellhole of Egypt?
