So the dingbats of the Republican party are at it again. I’m glad that John McCain did not win or America will surely lose its remaining credibility in the international community. So what if Pres. Obama refrains from using tough talk to comment on what’s happening in Iran. The problem with the Republicans is that they are so used to “gunboat” diplomacy”. Perhaps the Likes of McCain should look back into history and what caused the ouster of the Shah of Iran.
The Republicans are implying that Obama is too passive and would prefer to see how things play out in Iran before making a move. The US in the past had the habit of cuddling dictators that led to oppression and repression. The Philippines is no exception. The US propped up the Marcos dictatorship and only pulled out its support when they saw that Marcos is about to get kicked out. For years, the Filipinos suffered under a dictator supported by the US. It is in fact the same now. We are under a corrupt dictator who uses the military as her own private army. Never mind the hundreds of political killings, the repression and suppression of my peoples voice. Despite being a former colony of Uncle Sam, the US never bothered to “liberate” us. Perhaps because we have no oil that the US badly needs.
I agree with Obama. Its the US interest that he should prioritize on. Let the Iranian people decide their fate. What is wrong is to meddle in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation. If the Iranians has had enough of their present regime, it’s up to them to what action they should take. We Filipinos decided we’ve had enough so we revolted and kicked Marcos out. If the US wants to regain some of its glory, they should allow other countries to decide for themselves.
The Republicans should rethink their policies. Talking through the barrel of a gun leads to more “hate” for the innocent people of the US. I suppose they couldn’t care less, it’s the average Joe that’s in harms way and not these Capitol Hill bozos who sit in their secured offices. If McCain and his Republican friends wants action, I suggest they form themselves into a “liberation force” and free the Iranian people from the shackles of their abuse government. I’d like to see these Rambos go into Iran and liberate its people. Words don’t make men, Wisdom do.
