Iran President--Obama don't interfere..
Just finished reading an article at Fox News--Ahmadinejad Tells Obama Not to Interfere in Iran, Seeks Public Apology.
Ahmadinejad is unhappy with Obamas stance on the happenings in Iran related to the Iranian Election and the aftermath."Mr. Obama made a mistake to say those things ... our question is why he fell into this trap and said things that previously (former U.S. President George W.) Bush used to say," the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
Ahmadinejad, being the "Nut Case" that He has proven Himself to be, cannot seem to grasp why people would be appalled at the killing of protesters by the henchmen of the regime. His statement regarding Obama falling into the same "Trap" as Bush--which is in fact expressing the views of anyone opposed to tyranny, and the killing of innocent people, shows that the Iranian President has no desire to sit down with the American President, nor accept the unclinched fist of Obama."Do you want to speak (with Iran) with this tone? If that is your stance then what is left to talk about," said Ahmadinejad. "I hope you avoid interfering in Iran's affairs and express your regret in a way that the Iranian nation is informed of it."
The attitude of a child on the playground--My way or no way--I'll take my ball and go home. If the "Tone" the Nutcase is reffering to is Obamas statement--"appalled and outraged", rest assured that great numbers worldwide agree with Obamas "Tone". If Obama must accept the actions of Iran, and refrain from any condemnation of their brutality to sit and chat--Ahmadinejad is right--there is nothing to talk about. Which brings me to another thought. Much has been said about Obama not being "Tough Enough" in His Statements/actions regarding the actions of the Iranian Government in dealing with the rioting in Iran. As one who is known to Bash Obama on occasion, I am at a loss here, what is it that the critics expect Him to do--Swatting a Fly is one thing--dealing with the Iranian President is another--Your Thoughts?

Comedian Steven Colbert recently compared Obama's actions to a lifeguard simply watching a person drown. He suggested that Obama should make strong statements, like a lifeguard yelling at the drowning victim.
Up till two days ago, Obama said that it was "up to the Iranians" he turned up his level somewhat two days ago, and I agree, but we certainly don't need another unilateral (or nearly unilateral) war. Also, any heavy-handed Mid-East actions would likely increase terrorist recruitment.
It's a tough call, but I think that a low profile serves us best. I also think that speaking out when Obama did was necessary, and that if another country recommends stronger action in the UN, we should probably support that. I don't think it would serve us well be be the leaders in this. More heavy handedness will serve as a recruiting tool for terrorists. Presuming Ahmadinejad's election stands, I don't expect him to be able to win or manipulate the next election in four years. Our chances of a true moderate being elected next term increase if we remain low key.
I'm with you. What else can Obama do?
