He seriously thinks that we're some type of shining city on a hill, and that everyone else will judge us by this as opposed to their own perceptions on the US, based on personal opinion, mythology, and history. I find it incomprehensible. Why do these people think the US's voice on this matter would be of any importance? Are they just diehard believers in the idea that nice rhetoric actually has real power when coming from a state that is seen as the boogeyman?

The guy lives in LA and on his Facebook page, he has linked John Bolton and Richard Perle in favorite links. Cant help but feel this "oppressed victim" is enrolled in the "how to become Ahmed Chalabi" class at Neocon school. He has an official website as well, so thats how I know I have the right guy on Facebook I checked out the “Iranian activist” who Phil Klein is glorifying and shit, this guy is a budding neocon Amir Fakhravar.

Paul Wolfowitz chimes in today in WaPo that "'No Comment' is not an option." BS. Obama has done the right thing to limit his commentary to denouncing the violence and encouraging freedom of speech, and otherwise respecting the sovereignty of the Iranian government and the right of the people to determine their own leadership. Respecting sovereignty is something these people don't understand, except when it comes to us. Clearly. Paul Wolfowitz chimes in today in WaPo that “‘No Comment’ is not an option.”
