Comments on: 4 Quick Stories About Iran’s Supreme Leader http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/26755 Feel Smart Again Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:01:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Reaganite Republican http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/26755/comment-page-1#comment-149200 Reaganite Republican Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:14:45 +0000 http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/?p=26755#comment-149200 Obviously -although it’s the last thing Team Obama wants to hear- Ronald Reagan’s support of Poland’s Solidarity in the dark days of the Soviet-ordered crackdown is the model here- not the preposterous straw-man argument of “what are you going to do, invade?” disingenuously presented by the do-nothing, Obamapologist left. And isn’t this what George W Bush told you was going to happen in the Middle East in the wake of Iraq’s liberation? Maybe that’s why Barack Obama has so little apparent interest in finishing the job in Iran… no matter how much it benefits the US and free world. That, and the fact that he’s already piled all his chips on legitimizing this vile regime- a democratic revolution at this point would be downright embarrassing for him.

And for context, Krushchev, Kim, Hussein et al use the civil rights issue in America as cover for their own brutal abuses. So let's not pretend the man actually cares about the rights of American minorities. - He stones gays and adulterers.
