In his speech today, as he railed against foreign meddling in Iran, it was not America he singled out. His vitriol was directed at (the vague) "Zionists" and the "British."<br /><br />"Zionists and the bad British radio said [Moussavi's election dispute] was a challenge to the regime."<br /><br />He described Britain as the "most treacherous" of Iran's enemies, which I might add, was met with chants of of "Death to the UK" from his distinctly partisan crowd.<br /><br />It appears the Europeans, or at least the Brits, (and, of course, Israel) are his dragons. So perhaps, even for those with old (and righteous) greivances, perceptions of America are changing, if incrementally.arlopophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092823159317982207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354162813915609710.post-43540374991838097482009-06-19T09:50:38.397-07:002009-06-19T09:50:38.397-07:00Romney?

Certainly not as funny as Rush Limbaugh. <br /><br />And one thing:<br /><br />"Lest those that have not been in this country for the last year forget, this is not the country the world dealt with for the last 8 years, or even the last 50. Obama was not elected by a slim majority."<br /><br />The thing is, it IS the same country, Arlopop. It'll always be the same country. It'll change and vote for change, but it'll be the same country, in a real sense and a perceived sense. <br /><br />You can't ask people who have been the victims of history to believe history isn't important while they're still suffering its consequences. <br /><br />Not just because you chose a much better new president last year, not just because the country went Democrat with a healthy margin the way it always does whenever the economy goes to shit after too much Republicanity. <br /><br />Anyways, I hope you're right about it not being as bad as I think.Dread Pirate Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457471847776673647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354162813915609710.post-46956273037462698932009-06-19T08:43:16.692-07:002009-06-19T08:43:16.692-07:00p.s.

So, yes, that's what we have here pushing for intervention. I, for one, believe Obama's limited inputation is the right approach, especially when he's at the helm of the USS Great SatanCurry Favorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119889159735058297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354162813915609710.post-20117253597250576402009-06-19T08:33:20.558-07:002009-06-19T08:33:20.558-07:00Now you're all frothing.
