I do not know where you come up with this ideological BS. It sounds good on paper, but cannot work in reality. It's like an Architect or engineer can make anything look good on paper. Standing up for freedom and liberty is more than allowing it for yourself.
How well has your idea of rushing in wiping out the despots and handing a nifty shiny "free" government to the poor "innocent" people worked in reality?
exactly who is promoting military intervention in Iran?
Um, Obama is basically called a wussy around here for not doing "anything". What the hell do you want him to do? Release a strongly worded letter? That only gets ridiculed on here by the right wingers. I mean seriously, what can he do that won't get torn to shreds by you guys?
Nobody has ever advocated, at any stage in recent years, an American Military Overthrow of Iran. In fact, many so called 'neo-conservatives' have predicted for years the under 30 crowd in Iran(70% of population) who are naturally to some degree resistent to authority and hate the regime, would do exactly what has happened the last month.
What we want is forceful, Reagan/Bush/JFK/Truman type rhetoric and condemnation of the Mullah's and Dinnerjacket, not even support of Mousavi but in general support for HUMAN RIGHTS, including the most basic such as say Free Elections, the right to Life, Women's Rights, etc.
In addition to Liberty minded valued rhetoric, many of us would like some covert and overt ops with resistent movements, probably the pro-western Pavalia party. Right now they have Rocks, the Regime has Guns and control over Information. We also want some Radio Free Europe type of stuff going on.
It is quite possibly the most peaceful means of stopping/thwarting/seriously delaying the nutjob Mullah's from gaining Nukes
and don't forget, even though it helped out you libs politically, the Iranians are the major feeder of Weapons and IED's into Iraq that Killed American Soliders. Obama, with his inverted moral compass, wants to pander to them like Neville Chamberline or worse
