The people of Iran don’t want, or need the U.S. to “deliver” freedom to them. They, and anyone in this world can see our country for what it is: still the land of the free, and the home of the brave. We stand as a shining example- we are in stark contrast to many other coutries. Where do other countries look to in time of disasters? To the U.S. But our President could/ should stand up in front of the world, and plainly and clearly take a stance-a position on the side of those willing to risk their lives to cry out for a change in the opressive regime as it stands today in Iran. We have been at that same crossroads about 200 years ago, and our country stands out in a world of all other forms of government as the best, but not perfect country with freedoms that the people of other countries do envy.
He could urge all of us in the U.S. and all the freedom loving peoples of the world to do whatever we can ( send cellphones servers, whatever) and he could make a statement of faith in the God of creation, and ask everyone to give prayer requests to God for his mercy and deliverance from that tyrannical regime. He could say that the martyrs of that freedom movement are being prayed for and that our hearts are being broken as we watch the horrible display of the abuse of power, and of the murder of innocents by a regime that lacks basic human compassion.
He could at least have advisors who believe these things, could he not? OR on the other hand, are there any in his circle of advisors who see it that way ?
I PRAY ” there might be ten in the city…”

The opportunity is now. Our president should let the Iranian people know we are behind them if they overthrow the country. But if he does this then he better hope that they don’t fail, because then his overtures of peace toward the Iranian president will fall flat on its face. I don’t think he had much of a chance of getting peace with the current government anyway. Now if the revolution is successful and he was behind the Iranian protesters, he will come out looking good. And then the other countries that are opressed by tyranny will be encouraged and may push for their freedom also.

“President Obama fails to deliver it….” When did it become the responsibility of the United States to deliver freedom to the world. If you want freedom, get it the “old fashioned way”.
