Oh man, where do I start on what’s going on there. I have no idea! I understand why the protestors are protesting their rights. They want their votes counted. Fair enough. I believe in peaceful and reasonable protests.
But violence and bloodshed is unacceptable. It is a disgrace to not only Iran but to the whole world. America does have a right to speak out on certain issues, especially human rights. Though there are those times that America and the world are to sit on the sidelines and safely guard situations, such as the one in Iran right now.
I must say if the situation gets out of hand and spur violent backlashes and gory murders then the world must step up and do something about it. To a certain intent. President Obama is taking the right approach to these conditions. He’s trying to walk a very fine line. Like he did during the 2008 presidential election.
He had to generally talk about issues not in a black or white issue but an American issue. Just like in Iran, he can’t seem to be meddling in another country’s problems nor sit back and relax on the sidelines. He’s doing the right things, by talking generally about fair and just elections, peaceful stands, and democracy to all.
He isn’t taking sides from either stance. The GOP is arguing that President Obama should be tough and speak out more intently. Senator McCain seem to think so along with the others in his party. That’s the problem right there. Trying to be the Decider-in-Chief, my way or the highway, and a bully. What does this remind us of, you guess it, the last adminstration.
This is the main reason why America has become one of the most hated countries across the sea. It is not necessary. . We should try to work with our allies and talk to our enemies in an assertive way. Listen to them. Talk to them. Work with them. We’ll help them out then they will help us out.
To those hostile countries that won’t, then that’s their choice. We can then team up with our friends to develop consequences to those that choose to disrupt and harm other nations. But we can only do that if we have allies. We surly can’t get along far by ourselves.
