As the protests in Iran continue to send a message to the government that the people are ready for change, the leadership has a message of their own: "Go inside or be crushed," or so says Police chief Gen. Ismail Ahmadi Moghaddam.
The leadership of Iran has indicated that there will be no mercy, the protests in the streets would not be tolerated, and that anti-government demonstrators would be crushed.
Anti-Government?
The Obama Administration is being accused by Ahmadinejad's regime of encouraging such "anti-government" protests by their mere support of the people in the streets. Obama, and his gang of idiots (Congressional Democrats), have done nothing of the sort, for the most part. Barry has merely said that the U.S. stands on the side of freedom.
Could Iran be at a breaking point? Could the tyranny, corrupt government, and fraud in the elections be putting fight into the opposition?
During the turmoil in Iran, the minority Christian population in Iraq is receiving its own share of violence. Though Christianity still stands as the fastest growing religion in Iran, violence that forced most Christian Churches in Iraq to shut their doors on Christmas shows that Muslim extremism is beginning to grow again in Iraq. This is not to say that Iraq has returned to the seething pit of hell it was prior to the U.S. invasion, but it does signify that Iraqi forces are falling short in protecting the people - all the people.
So while Iraq fails to protect its citizens, Iran is threatening to crack down on its own populace.
A segment of the population in Iran may not know exactly where they want to go from here, with their protests of the government, but they know that they are tired of the iron rule of the mullahs, and Ahmadinejad. For their willingness to speak out against tyranny, they are being crushed by the government in a brutal fashion. The death of opposition leader Mousavi's nephew serves as a stark reminder of who the demonstrators are up against.
Obama seems to think that these Iranian leaders who are brutally mistreating their citizens for rising up in the streets are those same people who will let go of their nuclear ambitions by the power of a friendly negotiation with no pre-conditions.
The sanctions and blockade are long overdue.
Oh, and remember when I pointed out the term "anti-government," and how it was being used to describe the demonstrations in Iran? I was just finding it interesting that the tyrannical government was using the same term to describe the people crying out for freedom that the mainstream media was using to describe Tea Party participants here in the United States.
Just an observation.
