6. Michael Scheuer Is So Wise
Michael Scheurer is former head of the C.I.A.'s bin Laden unit. He knows more about the situation in the Middle East than all of the neocons put together.
People like John McCain make me sick--crying his crocodile tears for the poor protesters. A few months ago he was singing, "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." He would have been happy to see those protesters bombed along with everybody else. He could care less.
To encourage the protesters to get themselves in trouble when we can't give them much more support than lipservice is just unethical.

11. Exactly ...
Simply apply the 'violent resistance vs Non-violent resistance test' = The difference between our USA non-violent type protest method versus the msm & shill blogger fed Iran hype ...

I'm shocked that so many folks on DU are on the neocon side of this issue.

7. Ta for the post.
The guy makes sense, we've seen how blatant western interference in Iran ultimately strengthens Ahmadenejads hadd.

8. This guy is full of shit.
And I'm not saying that because he disagrees with Pres. Obama.

There might not be a universal right to dissent, but that doesn't mean Pres. Obama should not question militant governments who oppress its people.

This guy suggests we're talking war. No one, outside of the fringe, is even suggesting war.

There is a difference between showing disdain toward a government openly fighting its citizens and outright war.

This is not a war and won't be a war.

But that does not mean the United States can't put pressure on the Iranian government to step back and legitimize itself.

9. Should we expect President Obama to also question militant governments
who opress other nations and people?

10. Yup.
And I think he's been consistent in this regard.

He spoke about it, specifically those in Muslim countries, before the Iranian election.

However, this is a far bigger event than most.

This guy is an idiot, though. His point is grounded in a false premise that speaking out = war.

It does not.

12. How far do you think President Obama's criticism should go when it comes to
the U.S. occupying Afghanistan and killing innocent people in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
