Tiananmen In Tehran

While I don't disagree with the article, I think naming sources within Iran and espousing about all of the awesome infomration gained while visiting is probably dangerous. At the least, it is reckless. I am sure the regime knows what western reporters do while in Iran and they know who the reformist opposition is and what they think of the system. It just seems that the WAY this article is written give them another tool to use against reformers, western media, and us: the CItizens of the Great Satan.....with our meddling reporters/CIA operatives and their co-conspirators within Iran.

To quote an Iranian commenter "president obama is doing fine, if he says anything in direct support of us, gov will translate it as Evil US is trying to destroy Iran

What about this to Obama critics NOT understand?

ANYTHING Obama says in support of the protesters will be immediately launched on by the Iranian Government as proof of American hostility, and as further reason to crush the rebellion.

Obama is not that stupid. He has already proven this by getting elected as an outside bet and taking on several clearly established runners, including the presumed next President herself

ALSO: Try to remember this because it is important - This is about Iran and Iranians, not America and Obama.

Republican want to cite failures in courage. How about Dick cheney, actively pursued a deferment from the veit nam Draft. and got it. After he was approved for duty, he applied 5 times before he successfuly ducked sevice. I wonder who died for him? Ole rushbo asked for and got a medical defferment. Do you think it was possible that he could have served his country in some respect. Clerical, stores, motor pool/ George bush, joined the Air force but hid behind his daddy and stayed stateside. didn't even both to show up fo training. While i'm hot let me add Bill Clinton. he got an educational defferment. Should anyone be sent in harms way so someone else can go to college. These are cowards. These are the "feckless". when one of you GOP supporters condemn these jerks, then maybe your words about Obama may have some credence. Otherwise, shut your pie holes.

President obama doesn't have courage. That's what the GOP would want to sell you. They ignore his phased withdrawl from iraq, where most democrats want an immediate withdrawl. He is bombarded with this everyday. They ignore his willingness to fire missles into pakistan and join with their Army in routing the Talibamn against democrat opposition. He is succeeding where Bush failed in taking it to the Taliban. when the taliban falls, Bin ladens small terrorist gang will be destroyed because it is the Taliban that gives him safe harbor. He has decided to withhold and protect the torture photos which would embarrass the GOP, if that's possible, but would also steel our enemies against our troops. The Democrats are having a heart attack on that one.

the problem the GOP has with President Obama is a political one. He has tossed them out of power and they will do anything to get it back including selling our country down the tubes. Would the democrats do the same if the roles were reversed? Well hell yeah. At least I'm one Dem who isn't afraid to tall it like it is. The "feckless" cowards here don't have the courage to admit that they are pissed because they're power is gone and their party is fading fast, so they attack Obama.

All Iranians,
What help are you looking for other than moral help (which is already there in abundance)? Material help is farfetched at this stage. Any intervention from outside will be used to the advantage of incumbent president and your fight will be downplayed simply as antinational and pro-western. So fight it out on your own, for now. Believe me, entire world is watching very closely and searching for any info that comes out of Iran. All of us want to know why Iran cannot become a free democracy when many other countries are enjoying the fruits of democracy. Thorough introspection is needed by you all.
Iranians expect change without ever initiating a national dialogue on core issues weighing down their governance. Open debates criticizing fundamentalist oriented mindset of Teheran establishment is necessary. If the mullahs/ayatollahs continue to wield veto power and run the country thru parallel governance, the elected parliamentarians and president function just like an extended arms of the sepah, Basij or other outfits serving the theocracy. So long as the law makers (parliamentarians) do not function fearlessly and without restrictions on their powers, as you see in Japan, India, France and US no single leader (in this case Mousavi) can bring in freedom for Iranians.

Separate first the religion from politics. Having lived in Iran from 1985 to 90, I can say it is not possible. Simply Iranians cannot make a Gandhi out of Khomini. My sympathies and good wishes.

One day the Republicans are calling obama a terrorist and the next a coward. If president Obama fired a missle directly into the heart of Iran's President, the GOP would say too little too late.. The Republican define, thinking before one acts, as cowardly. this is why they had no problem with the Bush Administration dummying up evidence to enable the attack on iraq. As long as it's violent and racist, they can't get enough of it. The Republicans on the NW blogs have always said a good Arab is a dead arab and called them ragheads and camel jockeys. Now they want us to believe they want to have a candlelight dinner with them. I realize we're on the blogs to mess with each other, but the GOP has nothing to offer except racist hate. let me make it clear that some republicans want desperately to move the party away from the Southern hateful influence, but there is absolutely no chance of that ever happening. The ones that defend it are just a bunch of losers.

Yeah..you guys didn't see the fall of shah coming so why I am not surprised ;)

I believe The Iranian clerics should threaten the people that if they dont stop protesting , they will make George Bush the Iranian President. You think Mahmood is bad , Bush believes in end times.

Today Iran accused president obama of undermining the election and backing the opposition. tomorrow the GOP will say Obama shouldn't have meddled in the election. Yesterday he should have tomorrow he shouldn't have. Just more desparate crap out of the Party of no. It's all they have to offer. How embarrassing it must be for a Republican reformer to be held hostage by an out of touch racist base.

Who cares Iran is what it is & until the people stand up as they did right or wrong against the shah even if it means lives losted then so be until then they'll still be a dictatorship. And at this point with lives already being lost they might as well make good on promises & make sure those lives and those affected by the deaths arent for not. As the crown prince and other leaders in similar spots have always said if its the will of the people then the people must speak & act for only they can change the government. Burn baby burn.

peace and love
good luck iranians
you andonly you can bring change

My heart is with the reformists, but my cynical brain tells me they will be crushed mercilessly and much blood would need to be shed before the Mullahs let loose their grip on power. They have their own private army in the Republican Guard which has been trained to wage war against its own people.

Peope are fed up with the religious zealots and clerics. These oppressors need to go !! Religion has been poisoning people's lives for too long !
