Obama Back Seat Driver

Congratulations to Barack Obama for keeping quiet while Iran implodes on itself, this is not sarcasm. I have to admire the restraint shown by the White House, it would be easy for the administration to talk tough, thus giving credence to the claims by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameni that events in Iran are being manipulated from abroad, in this instance America would do well to remain in the back seat. after all the easiest way to get Iranians to stop fighting each other is to give them a common enemy to focus on. a softly softly approach has been adopted by Europe to though we should applaud the Italian decision to open the door's of its embassy to wounded demonstrators. other Country's should follow that example of compassion, sending a message to the Mullahs without directly getting involved. Mir Hossein Moussavi supporters need to maintain the momentum for a little longer, as in 1979 when Khomeni rose from nowhere to inspire revolution, a leader will appear this time to so that protestor's can rally behind him , it wont necessarily be Moussavi.
