Ahmadinejad Applauds Iranian Regime’s Record on Human Rights

Iranian regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lauded the brutal regime’s record on human rights.

Of course, this is the same regime that shoots democracy protesters from rooftops.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lauded the country’s Islamic ruling system for enshrining divine and human rights.

In a message to the 1st National Forum of Citizens Rights read to the participants by Vice-President for Legal Affairs Fatemeh Bodaqi, Ahmadinejad underlined the importance of human and citizens rights in Islam and the holy book, Quran.

He called spirituality, love, sublimity and justice as the main features of a correct move towards the materialization of humans and citizens’ rights in essence.

President Ahmadinejad further noted that the Islamic ruling system in Iran and its advanced Constitution have granted with the most valuable and successful experience (on citizen rights) to the contemporary man.

“The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran in its Articles 19 to 42, specially Article 56, has underlined the four aforementioned features and stressed the different aspects of human and citizenship rights,” Ahmadinejad stated in his message.

The president said that all the world and Muslim nations, specially those in the region, have pinned hope on the Iranian nation and the great achievements of the Islamic Revolution.

Last week the Iranian regime beat and kidnapped the two leading opposition leaders.
Mahmoud forgot to mention this during his speech.

Hillary just gave a mighty speech,
critics say somewhat directed at Iran..

U.S. Stands Ready To Aid Libya Protesters

The Security Council’s immediate first step is to
authorize a no-fly zone to prevent further butchery.

[No foreign troops are necessary, just assistance. Twenty years ago in these pages I called on the West to drop its policy of supporting Arab dictatorship in order to maintain stability. The best way to consign that short-sighted and immoral policy to the ash heap of history is to help Arabs liberate themselves.]

A Democrat’s Triumphal Return to Cairo

[One political role he's already playing is as an informal adviser to Obama administration officials, his friends Michael McFaul and Samantha Power, scholars who serve on the National Security Council staff. But he doesn't mince words about Mr. Obama's record so far. The president "wasted two and a half years" cozying up to dictators and abandoning dissidents, he says. "Partly to distance himself from Bush, democracy promotion became a kind of bad phrase for him." He also made the Israeli-Palestinian conflict his top priority, at the expense of pushing for freedom. "By putting the democracy file on hold, on the back burner, he did not accomplish peace nor did he serve democracy," says Mr. Ibrahim.

'Dislikable as [President Bush] may have been to many liberals, including my own wife, we have to give him credit,” says Mr. Ibrahim. “He started a process of some conditionality with American aid and American foreign policy which opened some doors and ultimately was one of the building blocks for what’s happening now.” That conditionality extended to Mr. Ibrahim: In 2002, the Bush administration successfully threatened to withhold $130 million in aid from Egypt if Mr. Mubarak didn’t release him.

So what should the White House do? “Publicly endorse every democratic movement in the Middle East and offer help,” he says. The least the administration can do is withhold “aid and trade and diplomatic endorsement. Because now the people can do the job. America doesn’t have to send armies and navies to change the regimes. Let the people do their change.”]

i blame Bush!!

Middle East Experts Got Saif Qaddafi Exactly Backward, Didn’t They?

[Yes, Seif al-Islam is touted as a reformer – by journalists. Perhaps naïve government officials also believe Seif al-Islam is a reformer… What I do know is that he is ideologically committed to preserving his father’s prison state system, and that he wants to export that system to as many countries as possible. Gullible diplomats and journalists may sincerely believe he’s a reformer, but a close look at his own statements proves that he’s lying when he passes himself off as moderate. And he is not even a good liar.

Totten took a typical “Saif is a reformer” article by AP writer Robert Reid and debunked it. The debunking was extensive, conclusive, and referenced multiple textual examples and ideological sketches. So naturally a year later Human Rights Watch Middle East Director Sarah Leah Whitson, as part of her broader dissimulation regarding Libya, took the same line as Reid, opposite Totten. She described “the transformation” taking place in Libya at the urging of Saif, called his organization “outspoken on the need to improve the country’s human rights record,” and characterized relations between Saif and the Internal Security Ministry as “frosty.”]

yes they did, and God Bless GWB..

Echoing Obama Echo

[“The man giving that speech wasn't the Saif I had got to know well over those years," said David Held, Saif al-Islam’s dissertation advisor at the London School of Economics. "I came to know a young man who was increasingly liberal in his values, committed to reform and transparent government.”

[..]

Pinning our hopes to enlightened despots like Saif al-Islam or Gamal Mubarak, who were supposed to take the lead in reforming their own countries, seems almost quaint given the events of the last month. A democratic movement has developed organically in the Arab world, with little heed of — and certainly no need for — the theoretical platitudes of Western educated MBAs and PhDs. True, Libya is most likely headed for a period of internal strife, and Egypt — with its military in control — is far from a democratic certainty, but one cannot ignore the simple demands, participation and dignity, that ring throughout. Deceived by cufflinks and cosmopolitanism, most Western observers seem to have misidentified the most promising agents of democratic reform.]

go (fitb) figure.. gah!!

bottom line:

if Bush didn’t take the worst of the tyrants (namely Saddam Hussein,
Obama pal) out, this never would have happened so soon or quickly..

EAT YOUR HEART OUT OBAMA, NOT ONLY ARE YOUR PALS QADDAFI ET
AL GOING DOWN, BUT FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY WILL REIGN ON THE ME
& AFRICA SOONER THAN LATER (and as far as i know, they don’t want
any part of you & your elites NWO either)..

now, if we could only get rid of you, perhaps we’d have a
shot regaining our own freedom & democracy ourselves..

starting with clearing out dead wood career
congress-critters & establishing term limits!!
