I hope there are millions more like this young man.
Mohammad: Yes. Let me tell you something. For about three decades our nation has been humiliated and insulted by this regime. Now Iranians are united again one more time after 1979 Revolution. We are a peaceful nation. We don’t hate anybody. We want to be an active member of the international community. We don’t want to be isolated. Is this much of a demand for a country with more than 2,500 years of civilization? We don’t deny the Holocaust. We do accept Israel’s rights. And actually, we want — we want severe reform on this structure. This structure is not going to be tolerated by the majority of Iranians. We need severe reform, as much as possible.
Roberts: Interesting perspective this morning from Mohammad, a student demonstrator there in Tehran.
Mohammad: Excuse me, sir. I have a message for the international community. Would you please let me tell it?
Roberts: Yes, go ahead.
Mohammad: Americans, European Union, international community, this government is not definitely — is definitely not elected by the majority of Iranians. So it’s illegal. Do not recognize it. Stop trading with them. Impose much more sanctions against them. My message…to the international community, especially I’m addressing President Obama directly – how can a government that doesn’t recognize its people’s rights and represses them brutally and mercilessly have nuclear activities? This government is a huge threat to global peace. Will a wise man give a sharp dagger to an insane person? We need your help international community. Don’t leave us alone.
Funny, Andrew Sullivan doesn’t link to this report. Only the ones that affirm his insistence that Obama is correct to keep out of things.
To the Left, the AUTHENTIC Iranians resent America for the Mossadeq affair and will tolerate nothing but neutrality. How can you tell the authentic ones? By their anti-Americanism.
Meanwhile, the Obama adminstration invites the thugs for hot dogs on July 4.
Is that disgusting enough for you?
Last sentence of my (hastily written) comment should have been “How disgusting is that?”
These are pious Muslim fanatics. I trust the Obama Administration had the foresight to get Halal hot dogs, or they could spark and international incident.
Kosher meat counts as Halal. Do you think they are going to use kosher hot dogs? “Here Mohammed, try this hot dog. Guaranteed to be ritually clean for you. It’s Hebrew National brand.”
“HEBREW NATIONAL? Jew food, with Jew cooties? You’re trying to poison us!”
