This is the main reason for change in Iran. The world should help the non-violent movement to get rid of these madmen.

I sometimes think the people over at WaPo, play it dumb on purpose.

From the moment that Obama got elected I said that, the US military wanted to have a proper young man at the helm, that can really tackle the roots of the problems in Iran.
George Bush's cowboy stuff did not really convince anyone, and everyone saw him as a con. This guy Obama is different. Right from the start he has been seen as the black darling of the world. He reminds me of the days when Sidney Poitier came to Hollywood, and how he represented the Ambassador of the Blacks in Hollywood.
So the US military managed with one simple act, be able to present to the world a new clean proper look to the world. Whatever this man said was going to be accepted. They did not have an embarrasing cowboy kid in the White House. This very educated polished black man was going to smooth talk the US up the moral ladder again. The EU was in love with the US. The left in Germany were nuts over him.
But I said then, that after a year, folks like Jannati will not budge and this extended hand of Obama's will have a gun at the end of it, no sooner than the final days of the nuclear talks are over. Once the US is out of Iraq for good, real war will be fought. That is not the drug war the US is fighting in Afghanistan. That is something they need for themselves. Cheap supplies for their own men and women of narcotics is there for all at Helmand, as it has been since the days of the silk route.
So what is the real war. The real war is the might of the young Iranians and other Western Asians. As cultures that created the world's first civilization well before China and other Eastern Asians, we have the energy and the location to become the centre of civilization as we were in the times of Cyrus the Great, We developed the planet Earth along human rights and the world had three three hundred year Empires that moved humanity forward. The Persian Pride that is in all Iranians, is what this war is about.
The people of Western Asia know that their energy is being siphoned off by China to build cheap materials by their political dissidents for the likes of Wal-Mart. The major US companies are not interested in losing market share to huge companies that will grow in Western Asia and put Iran at the centre of the world as it always had. The US companies want to make sure that Iran is destroyed by a force like the mullahs in combat with the US. The last thing they want is a peaceful economically prospering Iran, that will put them out of business.
"Palin suggested that if President Obama "played the war card" by declaring war on Iran in the next two years, the political landscape would change dramatically in his favor. "There wouldn't be as much passion to make sure that he doesn't serve another four years," Palin said."
