Choose Sides President Obama!
Phil Orenstein • June 23, 2009 • Uncategorized
The fires of liberty and democracy continue to blaze brilliantly in Iran as millions of protesters take to the streets to protest the fraudulent election process following Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s announcement that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had won the election. On the election that history may regard as the “June 12 revolution,” Former CIA agent, Reuel Marc Gerecht writes: “the Islamic Republic as we have known it is probably over.”
But Mr. Obama’s soaring oratory somehow misses the point when he makes the statement that “the difference between Ahmadinejad and Mousavi in terms of their actual policies may not be as great as had been advertised” as he justifies his official non-meddling policy. His silence amounts to a sanction for the barbarity of the Islamic regime which has imprisoned 33 journalists and continues to murder dozens of unarmed protesters, and ratchets up threats of deadly force as its stability is being endangered by a populist revolt.
As Charles Krauthammer points out, Obama may be so delusional in his thinking that he needs to preserve the relationship with the murderous mullahs in order to safeguard his diplomatic opportunity for dialogue with the Iranian regime on the nuclear issue. He remains ignorant of the fact that the “Death to America” chants are only coming from the hardliners, while the protesters chant “Death to the dictator” and even “Death to the Ayatollah.” He is also oblivious to recent events in history where we witnessed hardline communists, such as Boris Yeltsin and Gorbachev who become the reformers and leaders of the downfall of communism. Obama’s incompetence is apparent in his failure to envision the notion that Mousavi, a former hardliner, represents the broad consensus of Iranian youth who are hungry for liberty and democracy and yearn for the demise of the 30 year rule of the repressive Islamic mullah regime. As we witness Khamenei ordering the use force on protestors, Obama’s State Department opens the door inviting the Iranian regime to US embassies for a July 4th party. This ineffectual president has been having a non-stop party since taking office.
But the party is over. This is a critical juncture of history to capitalize on the burgeoning global movements for democracy starting with Georgia’s Rose Revolution in 2003, Ukraine’s Orange Revolution, Lebanon’s Cedar Revolution and many others. Now the fledgling representative democracy in Iraq and the recent electoral defeat of Hezbollah in Lebanon demonstrate the beginning of the end of tyranny and the rise of liberty in the world and the people’s yearning for freedom to control their own destinies. The ultimate blow to the death grip of 7th century barbarism and its assault on our values and civilization can come about right now with the fall of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It could happen this week! The leader of the free world needs to step up to the plate with full moral and material support and choose sides in this clear-cut confrontation between good and evil. Blood will be on Obama’s hands if he fails to act and we plunge into a new dark age of Islamic totalitarian war against all in life that we value and hold dear.
