Obviously it would not be worthless for them to know that we have their back. But, we do not have their back. The US cannot participate in overthrowing the government of another country, without causing a multitude of potentially disastrous consequences. We are probably covertly providing support, although we won't hear about that. A regime change in Iran would make Barack Obama look very good to a lot of people who do not know any better. I am sure he wants very much for this to happen. Just think, we would hear incessantly for years how his Cairo speech paved the way for a reformed Iran. Makes me nauseousjust to think about it. Even so, I hope and pray that these students succeed. Freedom is worth. it. But, don't kid yourself. Obama is working to make this happen, just so it makes him look good.
But you're missing one point. Even though he's a punk, a liar and a thug, he still speaks for us, and his silence in the face of the struggle for freedom in Iran is still disgusting.
We have a coward at the helm, and every tinhorn dictator in the world knows it - today more than yesterday.
He has emboldened the thugs with his silence, and that's just not OK with me.
Maybe I'm just not "with it"...........
