All of the thorns seem to have disappeared from the Paradox Patch..

I haven't been as vocal in my political feelings lately. I'm oddly calm lately or maybe it's the turmoil in my little corner of the world.
The Iranian reformists have not taken the rigged election lightly. People with green bands around their arms are endangering their lives to fight the corrupt regime that has violated the rights of their citizens. Peaceful protestors have been gunned down for exercising their right to oppose unfair treatment. Back in the good ol' US of A a good many people are criticizing President Obama's handling of the situation. He's not forceful enough for the fat lazy Americans (mostly the GOP) who kick back watching people who are more courageous than they will ever be. These protesters are exposing the corrupt regime more and more everyday. They are taking their country back. You think they don't know that they may die for that? Once upon a time we did the exact same thing. President Obama is watching the situation and taking it very seriously, but his interference would only serve to bring more violence and death to these brave people. Let them take their country back. We support that. We did it ourselves. So McCain, reacquaint yourself with our fore fathers and what advice they gave us. Foreign entanglements is not always wise or safe. For them and for us. President Reagan was a perfect example that the spoken word was often mightier than the famous Beach Boys/ McCain hit "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran". Also there is an stand that Prez Bush Sr. took that was just like this and it turned out to be correct. I am sure I'm not alone in my admiration of the strength and determination of the reformists of Iran. I think some Americans have forgotten what it is to fight to the death for what they believe in.
