Angela Merkel Speaks Out In Support of Iranian Freedom Protesters… Obama Relaxes at Beach

Monday, December 28, 2009 Jim Hoft

German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke out against the repression of protestors in Iran and the violent attacks on democracy activists. DW World reported:

In a strong statement to the press on Monday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the actions of Iran’s state security services “unacceptable.”

She called on them to “avoid any further escalation of the violence and to pursue political dialogue to peacefully settle internally disputed matters,” and also to respect their commitment to the International Pact on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantees the right to peaceful protest.

Meanwhile… Barack Obama was off to the beach in Hawaii.

Dont be fooled. The protesters hate our guts as much as Imanutjob. Better to let them kill each other. It will be fewer that we will have to kill AFTER we get nuked.

It's truly a sad day when the US President has to follow the lead of *Germany* on an issue of liberty.

That's not what I've read.Many things I've heard and read suggest that younger Iranians are quite accepting of Western ways.I have no personal knowledge that proves that,but....

I agree with you — do you remember on the night of 911, that it seemed like the ENTIRE population of Tehran did a candlelight vigil for the victims at the WTC?

The shark isn't chasing him. It just SPIT HIM OUT!

As we all know, sharks are MAN eaters. No self-respecting shark would stoop to eating this limp-wristed, narcissistic, effete metro sexual. This one is carp food.

I know this from personal experience. Young Iranians love blue jeans and rock and roll but they still hate us and blame the US and Israel for the world’s problems. If we took out Iran’s nuke sites they would quickly turn their anger from the regime to us.

If Israel took out Iran’s nuke sites they would quickly turn their anger from the regime to us as well. I don't trust any of them.

I don’t trust any of them either, but I don’t have to. I just have to support unrest and internal turmoil.

We should follow Merkel and put pressure on the ruling regime in all ways possible.

Topple the mullahs, hang Amanutjob, riot in the streets.

These guys are building nukes and long range missiles. Internal turmoil, fighting against each other is a good thing for us.

Interesting. It’s probably not a good idea to naively ignore your warning.

Just curious—what’s your sample size? I ask, because I’ve known a handful of Iranians (less than 5) and they seemed to be reasonable, pro-western values, type people.
