No one said ignore the problem in Iran, America does not have to be part of a civil dispute. Not all, if any, Islamic countries are in love with America, you cant judge them like european countries. When people get involved in domestic affairs, especially without being asked to help, the very people are person that you are trying to help will sometimes turn on there help, telling them its non of their business. Just like in Iraq, not only did we lie to get over there, the people didnt want us there.

“I LIKE THAT HE WOULD RATHER WORRY ABOUT HOME FIRST.”

No other country intervened during the trail of tears, slavery or the civil war. I love America, but some people really believe America can do no wrong. I am not one of those people, America is my home it is all I know, but it has a shady past, present and probably future, doesnt mean I dont love my country, I am just not hypocritical.If civil war broke out here now, see how many countries, if any, would interfere. SO GET OFF YOUR PRESIDENTS BACK, I LIKE THAT HE WOULD RATHER WORRY ABOUT HOME FIRST.

Please don’t think too badly of Rep. Ron Paul. He actually believes America should follow the advice of the founding fathers, and the government should stay out of other nations business, as it only invites more trouble.

That being said, as a private American citizen, I’m looking for anything I can personally do to help them.

But I agree, the President of America should have used the Bully Pulpit, instead of worrying about making the next world wide function slightly more uncomfortable for him.

He voted present. Again.

Ben: “Let nations decide their own paths.”

The point that you’re missing is that the best way to learn the will of the people is to have real elections.

Otherwise, the “nation” isn’t deciding anything.

21. “President Obama wants to rule not govern”
Correct. I have seen this for some time so I am rarely surprised by the Dude – He strives to bully the innocent and suck up to the bully which is 180 deg from my way of living or thinking.

G. Clark #12—good reminder. Facts trump the delusional policy that Obama creates. He believes that there is no war against the Jihadists, infact he doen’t even believe there are terrorists. Apology, appeasement & betrayal of US allies is Obama’s vision for a world subject to a a UN style multi-culti sovereignty over us “world citizens” & American exceptioalism is a dirty word.

Thank goodness we left Germany and Japan alone to develop their own democratic institutions.

“i have yet to meet an iranian that does not despise the cia and what the usa did.”

I will opt for reality over perception. Getting rid of Mossaddeq’s pro-Communist government greatly benefited the Iranian people—even if many of them fail to realize it. The Shah of Iran was very secular and particularly empowered women. Iran’s economy was improving and things were overall vastly better than today. The Shah was also very friendly toward the Jewish citizens of Iran and the state of Israel. Ayatollah Khomeini’s followers took control of the 1979 revolution and established a reactionary theocracy. They considered the Shah as too westernized. That was the number one reason why he was removed from power!

Was Bush I right to give helicopter gunships back to Saddam, so that he could slaughter thousands of Shia whom Bush I had encouraged to rise up?
