President Obama says he refuses to “meddle” in Iran. Why not? He is clearly “meddling” in Israel, pressuring the Jewish people not to defend themselves from a new Hitler rising in the East. He is clearly “meddling” by pressuring Israelis not to continue developing and expanding their own neighbors in Jerusalem, their capital city? He is happy to “meddle” in pressuring the Israelis to divide Jerusalem, give away the West Bank and allow Islamic Radicals to establish a sovereign state in “Palestine.” Remind me why, then, President Obama is willing to “meddle” in the affairs of a truly democratic country such as Israel, and refuses to speak out with moral courage and clarity with regards to a tyrannical dictatorship in Iran beating, arresting, and killing innocent civilians.
To misunderstand the nature and threat of evil is to risk being blindsided by it. The U.S. was blindsided by Hitler’s move on Europe in 1939. We were blindsided by Pearl Harbor in 1941. We were blindsided by the in the 40s. By the Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. By Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990. By the 9/11 attacks just a few years ago. I believe we are increasingly in danger of being blindsided again. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.
The Ayatollah Khamenei is preparing to annihilate the Jews.
Khamenei's model?
How can the White House — and the Western alliance — not see the evil that is running Iran today? The Ayatollah Khamenei has called for Israel to be wiped off the map. He selected Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be the president of Iran in 2005. He just re-annointed Ahmadinejad to serve another four years by rigging the recent elections. He and Ahmadinejad are fully committed to acquiring nuclear weapons, long-range ballistic missiles, destroying the U.S. and Israel, and bringing about the End of Days. They speak of it openly, as I document in my new book and will present in the documentary film we’re finalizing for release on 9/11 (see www.insidetherevolution.org). Yet top officials in Washington refuse to truly and effectively confront Khamenei and Ahmadinejad. Rather, they keep pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu to make dangerous concessions to Israel’s avowed enemies. Meanwhile, Khamenei is threatening an even more bloody crackdown on the young Reformers crying out for freedom and justice. Ahmadinejad has been in Moscow building political and military alliances with Russia, China and the Islamic powers of Central Asia. And Iran’s chief Asian ally — North Korea — is threatening to conduct new nuclear weapons tests and may be preparing to test launch an ICBM into the Pacific next month that could threaten Hawaii.
Now, more than ever we need to pray for our leaders, that their hearts would be changed, that their eyes would be opened, that they would “do justice, and love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 5:8) We need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. “Behold, He who keeps Israel neither will slumber nor sleep.” (Psalm 121:8) And we need to pray for the Lord to show His great love to all the people of the epicenter. “I will set My glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them. And the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God from that day onward….I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I will have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Lord.” (Ezekiel 39:21,22,29)

The difference between Hitler and Khamenei + Ahmadinejad is that an active, homegrown resistance is responding to reject the autocrats’ attempted coup. Once the Nazis got control of Germany, for whatever reason, no one was willing, able, or angry enough to trigger a serious reaction. There was a lot of fear, for sure, but no will or capability to stop it before Hitler dragged the rest of the world into his madness and megalomania.
Iranians have just established what level of corruption and abuse they are unwilling to accept from their ostensible leaders. Regular abuses of power, hypocrisy, and even ignorant, divisive garbage from the leadership may be one thing – goodness knows this happens in practically every country in some way, shape, or form – but treating everyone as if they are stupid and insulting their intelligence and dignity is another thing entirely.
I don’t think the specter of fascist overrun needs to be raised here. I think the Iranian people are demonstrating that they won’t allow a few deluded over-nationalist thugs to take them down that road, certainly not when they’re being embarrassingly incompetent and thuggish jerks in the process.
Don’t worry, world – I think the Iranian people have the rest of us covered this time. Finish the job and show everyone else how to liberate themselves in a way that might actually last, instead of being tainted by external influence and agendas.
Author said: President Obama says he refuses to “meddle” in Iran. Why not?
Because Obama is on the side of the Mullahs. Simple.
An outrageously biased and unbalanced article. I am appalled by the ignorance of Middle Eastern politics expressed here.
I agree that a new “Hitler” may well be rising in the east, but to use this as an excuse to promote pro-Israel propaganda is foolish.
Now we may suspect that this “Situation Room” is not what it purports to be.
