Doing the right thing

The president was and is right on point today with his position on Iran. As horrific a situation is going on there, we cannot just jump into that conflict because that is an internal affair. So what does the desperate right want him to do? He is not being tough enough. Huh?

So he is supposed to ratchet up rhetoric to incite what? Our faux war party that is the republican part would just love that. You have to be very wise in leadership and if he starts waging verbal tirades against Iran then we will never get anywhere. Can you imagine if the President starts spewing Republican rhetoric and cannot back it up, which he could not because of economic reasons, thanks to the republicans, what kind of light that would put on the U.S.? That is why they are the party on the out.

Ultimately it will be up to the Iranians to determine the outcome and direction of their country. And what ever that government determines, will be a reflection on them and no one else. It is like destiny is in their hand. This is their opportunity to step up to the plate and do the right thing and treat their citizens fairly and allow them to express their grievances peacefully and make some type of restorative gesture so the people of Iran can have a sense that the government does pay attention to their concerns, men and women alike. And we should rather they can take those steps on their own without external interventions. The Iranian government should realize, the way they handle this situation will determine how they are treated in the international arena. This is what the world is watching out for. Not only is this a time of change for the people in Iran, this also gives the Iranian government the opportunity to change as well
