Iranian president lashes out at Obama, U.S.

I'm not a huge fan of Obama, but what is Admadinejad's idea of non-interfearance doing nothing and saying nothing while he bludgeons his people in the streets?

Pretty much, but unfortunately, Obama's comments make it look like the protesters are Western puppets.

Which comments and how?

This is what I'm referring to but at second glance I'm beginning to regret my remark. Mostly because any response by Western governments and media will make the protesters look like Western puppets in the eyes of Admadinejad and the ruling clerics.

Achmajihadidad and the ruling clerics are just looking for excuses to blame the protestors behavior on the US. It is abundantly clear to everyone with common sense that we aren't instigating this.

The classic Iranian argument is to blame the US. It is a tried and true tactic that has worked time and again, but it is getting a bit old.

If Amadinejah had the overwealming puttort that gave him a land slide where did all the protestors come from (they were obviously cloned in Israel and the US and sent in by the Space Shuttle).

The protestors were bludgeoned by their secret police. It takes a lot of guts to proceed forward in a phalanx of poilice with shields and batonts know you are going to on the receiving end. Their anger is very very deep.

Amadinejad has a problem and he is using the same stale argument of American and British Imperialism. It won't work this time.

If we said absolutly nothing about this violence I would have been embarrassed.

I'm glad I'm living in North America where there is either a Charter of Rights or a Bill of Rights.
