May God, Allah or whoever protect them, because the governments of the world don’t care about these people who want freedom from oppression.
Mike commented:
Freedom breaks out in Iran just as America is put in Obama, Reid and Pelosi’s chains.

Joe commented:
Why doesn’t our government give these people a word of encouragement? Is it because they are afraid it might actually help them if they see that others in the world are supporting them?
Palinfan commented:
Protests? Freedom?
Our King and Queen have flown off on jets to save the world from the environment, pick up his Nobel prize, then it’s back home to hit the links and throw another wild party at the White House.
Protests, indeed!
Don commented:
if obama continues supporting Iran, they will be chanting “death to obama” too…
Paul commented:
Our president is more worried about looking “diplomatic” in front of European, South American and Asian leaders. He will continue to have “dialogue” with the Islamic Fundamentalist government of Iran so that he appears to be “diplomatic” in the eyes of the UN. He could care less about what the people of Iran want and/or freedom for Iran or any other Islamic state.
Alice L. commented:
What a creep our Prez is. He does not support the demonstrators because he hates America and does not see us as a beacon of freedom. He is just dying to sit down to brunch with Khameni, Imadinnerjacket, and the other wackos. He is making us look like cold hearted fools.

Obams is a national disgrace. How DARE he even let the words “America’s standing in the world” come out his mouth?
Fourouzan commented:

odd (strange coincidence??) that they chose December 7..
How Pearl Harbor changed the U.S. 68 years ago
today and what the president told a shocked nation
[Last week we had President Obama's less-than-rousing Afghanistan war speech, trying to have it both ways by dispatching more troops while promising a scheduled departure. And not once using the word "victory."
Today, coincidentally, is the 68th anniversary of the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, where shortly the 44th president will fly with his family and White House entourage for a holiday vacation. Few Ticket readers will remember the shock that swept the country that quiet Sunday, not unlike 9/11 would do 60 years later. And the millions of lives affected by those events.
So here as a political refresher are two historic videos -- one about the actual attack itself by 350 planes from Imperial Japanese aircraft carriers more than 200 miles away.
The other video includes President Franklin D. Roosevelt's famous war speech the very next day, the one saying that Dec. 7, 1941, would live in infamy. And here we are 24,837 days later remembering.
And now a real presidential war speech from the days of
radio when voice and words mattered more than looks.]
It Has Always Been The Soldier
It is the soldier,
not the President who gives us democracy.
It is the soldier,
not the Congress who takes care of us.
It is the soldier,
not the Reporter who has given us Freedom of Press.
It is the soldier,
not the Poet who has given us Freedom of Speech.
It is the soldier,
not the campus [community] Organizer who
has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag;
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
that allows the protester to burn the flag.
~ Father Dennis O’Brien, US Marine Corp. Chaplain
God Bless America!
God Bless Soldiers everywhere for putting THEIR
lives on the line to protect us ALL from terrorism!

Obama Nero dithers while Teheran burns. Small wonder he likes the mullahs so much, his role model Jimmy Carter all but put them into power himself.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
No worries about this getting out of control. Once the Iranian Secret Police have identified the protestors, they’ll all be arrested in the middle of the night and never heard from again… just like the Mullahcratic Regime did the last time these people took to the streets and protested, and the time before that, and the time before that.
Haven’t these people learned that getting raped by your torturers in prison is sanctioned by Islamic Doctrine – so long as the rapist performs the ritual islamic washing beforehand?
Franklin commented:
Obama won’t support the protesters because he wants to do to the USA what the Iranian leaders are doing to their country – suppress discent.
Is there any way we (American people) can get the message out that WE support them?
Can anyone in congress make a statement of support?

revolution upon revolution….
It is a fine thing for the world that Iran killed (nth) American pride. This is not even a question for us (the rest of the world).
I find it strange that I can find no reference on this site to the strife in Greece. This is wrong as there are equal numbers of young individuals raging there as there are in Iran.
It can only be American pride that causes such a reaction to Iran. This is not only obvious from the lack of reaction to the Greek crisis but also because of your reaction to many demonstrations. E.G. Tien An Min Square in China vs The Curacao in Venezuela in the same year. Hence because China was not an ally, (then) and Venezuela was (back then) only Tie An Min Square caused tears then as Iran does now (crocodile tears) yet Greece does not!!
Will Greece be your new enemy like Venezuela is today?…..Yes it will. America has dropped the ball again, soviets are already being formed in Greece as Bolivarian circles are coming to fruition in Venezuela.
There are many more examples of such behavior and it stretches from Namibia to Iran to Greece to Venezuela to Communist China and beyond.
The US has made no money since 1974 and well I’m just here to say good-bye and I love ya, just wish you’d stay where you is. If you don’t well it’s your funeral.
Alas Obama has the right formula…..think about it, your country has no money. Barely a cent since 1974….kinda when you stopped going to the moon!
There is nothin you can do…..but if you try you will cause a revolution upon a revolution. Imagine China with a revitalized communism…or Iran where the youth support the govt….or a Namibia where land reform continues (like Zimbabwe but working)…or even a Venezuela where Chavez steels his mandate further!!
I do not support Obama, I don’t even live in your country (thank god). However do not push these issues or you will fall.
Leave Iran alone hell leave Greece alone, leave Venezuela alone and take a big step back from China……SERIOUSLY
