The Wrong Perception About Iran
By Micah Halpern

Tuesday June 16, 2009

I've Been Thinking:

Today, in response to the first question asked asfter a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Burlisconi, President Obama talked about Iran.Once again, the president of the United States of America spoke as if Iran were a democracy.
Iran is not a democracy. Iran is not a democracy. Iran is not a democracy.
The record must be cleared.
White House advisors have got this all wrong. Iran is a theocracy. Iran is run by The Supreme Leader the Grand Ayatollah.
Obama sounds like he is referring to a Western European country when he discusses the democratic process in Iran. I quote: "And I want to start off by being very clear that it is up to Iranians to make decisions about who Iran's leaders will be; that we respect Iranian sovereignty..."
There's more: "I think that the democratic process -- free speech, the ability of people to peacefully dissent -- all those are universal values and need to be respected."
There is a synapse here.
Iranians went out to vote knowing all along that the Grand Ayatollah, not they, would be choosing the leader of Iran. Iranians are frustrated and fed up, but they are not fooled.
Why is Washington fooled?
