On Obama's Shoulders

A quiet problem has emerged out of the Middle East and it isn't Iraq or Afghanistan.  A quiet problem has emerged out of Asia and it isn't China.

This week a great crime occured in the Eastern World.  It was a copycat of one that occured not too long ago.  An election was stolen.

The President of Iran told his talking heads at the state run news headquarters to announce his landslide victory.  About 70% of people in Iran voted for the incumbent to re-elect him.

But if he's so popular then where are the anti-protesters?  Nobody is rushing to his aid except the police he has wrapped around his finger and the state run news agency that is as corrupt as that of North Korea.

Think back to 2000...December to be exact.  If I remember correctly, people like me were yelling bloody murder at the fact that Governor Bush claimed victory against VP Gore in the most corrupt election, the only corrupt Presidential election, in US history.  But for ever Gore fan screaming...there was an anti protester.  And think about it...half of Americans voted for George Bush!  In Iran 70% of Iranians voted for the incumbent President but none of them appear to be defending him against the "minority"!

If this all sounds familiar, remember a month ago.  Kim Jong Il of North Korea claimed he won the election unanimously.

The point is, if every country in the world was a democracy, we wouldn't have nearly as many problems as we do now.  A nut like Kim Jong Il or Mahmoud A. wouldn't stand any more of a chance over there than James von Brunn (the Holocaust Museum shooter) would stand here.

So now, we and our President can only pray that the rebels in Iran win the fight against their illegitimate leader.  If they don't, Obama is going to have to worry about nuclear weapons more than any President since Ronald Reagan.

In October of 1962, President John F. Kennedy was informed that Cuba was home to Russian nuclear weapons with the capability to reach the United States.  His brother, Robert, told him not to bomb Cuba.  Later, we found out that the Russians in Cuba were ordered to send a nuclear bomb to the US if the US attacked them.  On that day, the world came closer to its end than any day since a meteorite killed the dinosaurs.

Let the Iranian rebels succeed, because if they don't, we may come closer to such an end or worse.  And, at least in this respect, let Obama succeed because our future depends on it.  No true American would do anything but root for the President of the United States to succeed in protecting the homeland.
