Those three should have been the recipients of the Nobel Peace prize.. as the are spearheading the greatest peace movement in the world today!
Excellent point- Martyrs for Democracy
This shows how futile it is to have “peaceful” protests against murderous regimes.
If those million protesters had stormed the government buildings instead of holding up signs they might have their country back now. Their military would have backed them instead of the mullahs.
Obama let these people down at their moment of need.
I think its larger than that...
it would probably lead to the disarming of the nuclear ambitions of the theocracy.
Just speculation and belief in the death to the dictators...
also, I doubt the people do not want to be smote down by Israel.
Israel is in hard and they have few choices other than to act.
The sooner the better.
Obama: “sorry, uh, we have a “no preconditions” pledge so, ah, as much as I’d like to address the plight of these unfortunate protesters, I think it is a good lesson for our own ... uh, sorry, I simply cannot do anything to jeopardize my prize, er, ah, the peace. Thank me and good night.”
