The .. people have a universal right to assembly and free speech. ... the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats .. and imprisonments of the last few days. I strongly condemn these unjust actions ... powerful images and poignant words have made their way to us ... and so we have watched what the (protesters) are doing. And we deplore violence against innocent civilians anywhere that it takes place. .. it's important for us to make sure that we let the ... people know that we are watching what's happening, that they are not alone in this process. .. And, you know, we've all been struck by the courage of people. ... We have to believe that ultimately justice will prevail.

....... meanwhile, free pundits of the free world bay for mayhem - insurrection and more bloodshed

.. the regime has used only a fraction of its capacity for violent suppression, and its security forces show no sign of wavering or splintering. The authorities have warned that defiance of bans on demonstration will no longer be tolerated .. While urging continued defiance and planning further rallies ... (protest) leaders have not yet given their followers clear marching orders. The challenge .. is to evolve a strategy to sustain a political challenge over weeks, months, and even years in the face of a violent crackdown on street demonstrations. ..

I hadn't written for a long time in this blog, but again, the press is appalling and I can't keep quiet. I will begin by restating that I am from another country that was once occupied and invaded by the United States. It is PATHETIC when the press pushes and questions the president of the United States on when he will condemn and warn another country about consequences for its actions. Consequences that translate to punishment, of course, by the United States government, ALONE. The press is irresponsible and pathetic...what do you expect for the U.S. to do? To threaten Iran? It can't, it shouldn't and I hope it won't because if you threaten you must follow up on that threat. This is an Iranian issue and other countries should not mettle. This is so obvious that I don't understand how the press doesn't see this. Bigger powerful countries should only mettle when those victimized plead and ask for help from the international community, as it happened in Rwanda and many other countries. As it happens in Darfur today. But Iranians are not asking the international community for help and they won't either.

I wasn't too sure about Mr. Obama during the primaries. Thought he was a fake. Turns out he is real and I hope he sticks to his principles. It is hard with the corrupt press. Yes corrupt. The press core will do anything, anything to get a sound bite, a headline, a lead in statement. You play a dangerous game with people's lives all over the world. I wonder if you realize this.

Shame on you.

I think President Obama gets a kick out of people consistently under estimating him

Just ask Sec'y Clinton

By the time his first term ends we will have ended DADT and DOMA and we will have a health care and climate major bills - maybe not everything - but they can be amended

This guy didn't become the first african american President at 47 because he wasn't up to the challenge
