Iran held elections last week. The election was supposed to be close between the mad Mullah’s man and the challenger. After the election was held, the results were announced. The mad Mullah’s said that their mad had received 66.7% of the vote. The people that voted knew that result was wrong, so rioting started. The mad Mullah’s cracked down with violence. The situation is volatile. It could go either way. The Mullah’s will most likely prevail because they have the army. But if the rioters convince the army that they are right, the Mullah’s could be in trouble.
An interesting development has taken place in the last 24 hours; the mad Mullah’s have announced that they will review the results of the election. That is the first time that they have reversed themselves since taking power in 1979. That is a big development. Their air of infallibility has been snapped. That could be a sign of better things to come. Or it could just be a minor blip on the radar.
Iran is important because they have enormous amounts of oil. Nobody is getting their oil because of the embargo that was put on after the Mullah’s took over in 1979. The Mullah’s are also seeking to get nuclear power. They say it is so they can have nuclear power plants. Since they have more oil than almost anywhere else in the world, which would be a rather thin argument. Their real goal is undoubtedly to produce nuclear weapons. They are probably close to doing just that.
Iran has pledged to wipe Israel off of the map, if they get a chance. Since they do not border Israel their opportunity is rather limited. They cannot wage a land war as they would have to travel across other countries. That would be detected by those countries and/or Israel and stopped. An air war would be impractical as their air force is far below Israel’s in capability. Their only chance to wipe Israel off of the map would be to drop a nuclear bomb on Israel. They have the missiles to deliver the bomb. All they need is the bomb to deliver and they can make good on their promise. That is why Iran is important to the world. Bombing Israel would start a world war that could have a devastating impact.
Our illustrious President is busy pretending that nothing is happening in the Middle East. He goes to Cairo and talks to moderate Muslims. Moderate Muslims might exist in large numbers, but they are ineffective as a group. They are easily intimidated and ruled by small numbers of Islamo-Fascists. That means that even though there may be large numbers of moderate Muslims, they effectively are radical Muslims when taken as groups in their countries. There are no Muslim Democracies, except for Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraq and Afghanistan are Democracies only because we imposed democratic rule. The other countries are despotic at best.
The people rioting in Iran need the support of America. Barack Obama needs to speak out in their support. So far, he has remained silent. The entire administration has said nothing about Iran. It would seem that Iran does not exist as far as our administration is concerned. I am not sure that even with our support the rioters could pull off the overthrow of the Mullah’s, but we have to try. If we can get Iran in the hands of someone who actually cares if he lives or dies would be a real plus. Right now, the Mullah’s do not care whether the world ends or not. That makes them truly scary. Hitler and Stalin were scary people, but they both did not want to die. These Mullah’s do not care and that makes them truly scary.
America needs to support those who seek to achieve the goal of independence from tyranny. Unfortunately, our country is sprinting down the path toward tyranny faster than I ever thought possible. Pretty soon, we may be the ones rioting and hoping that some other country sees our plight. Let’s not lose sight of the goal of independence from tyranny. That is what our Founders did and that is what we should also do. I support that goal from the bottom of my heart and with every fiber of my being. I support freedom wherever I find it.
