I must say that Rachel Maddow is doing a masterful job today on her Iran reporting. What do all of you think?
I'm also very proud that Obama is doing the right thing with Iran right now. See my rant below.
Maddow once again shows her intelligence tonight with her well-informed take on what is going on in Iran. I'm really impressed with her ability to convey what is going on as objectively as possible, without the premise that the United States plays a (direct) role in this.
Thank God we have a wise president who knows the history of Iran in that outside elements are always unwelcome when it comes to the fight for democracy...which has been going on for greater than 50 yrs. The GOP and John McCain especially have no clue about the history of Iran, but approach foreign policy from a very impractical egocentric Americanism. The GOP blames Obama for taking step back to let things sort out in Iran naturally.
Obama is the one though, that added fuel to the fire of those in Iran seeking more freedom with his openness towards Persians and his olive branches...from wishing the Iranians Happy Nowruz, to accepting American blame for the CIA-influenced coup against the elected Prime Minister of Iran in the 1950s and reinstating the Shah to power. He set the catalyst for reform and now the people are running with it. It takes a confident leader to do this and not be influenced by saber-rattling idiots.
The GOP is trigger-happy, insecure and definitely not to be trusted when it comes to Middle Eastern foreign policy.
