Fewer people were shot there than at Kent State. Should we also not have nuclear power?
I now agree with Obama that Iran has a completely legitimate use for nuclear energy and I trust that regime completely.

The mere fact that they are rioting shows that there are seeds for change within this country. But comments like yours are pretty useless and baseless.
there were seeds of change at Tienanmen square too......
...but at the end of the day the government did whatever it wanted to anyway.
Wow what a great comparison. Hussein was Hitler too, btw. Oh, wait, Ahmedinjad was Hitler.
A better comparison might be the recent unrest in Thailand along urban/rural lines. Ahmadinejad's base is rural and conservative; Mousavi's, urban and educated.
my dad left Iran after the revolution. He said it used to be VERY modern and now the ayotallah has driven the country back to the stoneage, so yes there are seeds of change...most of the people are dissatisfied with its current condition.
That being said, Iran is one of the worst places to live.
Fail comment. I take it you would sit at home and type on the internet if a dictator stole an election here?
the spin is palpable.
He basically said that every country has a right to peaceful nuclear energy. That qualifier excludes any country which might use it for ill means. If Iran lets in the IAEA and things are kept under a tight lid, then I see no problem with it. If Iran gets all Saddam Hussein on us and starts to kick out inspectors every 6 months... then we have a problem and then I'm all for taking every reactor / enrichment site they have.
I will say that his statement about "America's commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons" is just fantasy. The very second our last nuke is dismantled we'd get hit hard from all sides. I guess it's one thing to "seek" and another thing to "find". Hopefully that rings true because even though in a perfect world no nukes would be great... we don't live in that world so nukes are a necessity for national defense.
You may have missed Darrin's sarcasm, but the prediction seems likely enough.
DarrinS basically considers Obama a dictator, but I doubt he does any more about it than about it online, like everyone did with GWB.
In fairness, it deserves to be pointed out that this sort of thing may not be so negligible as it first seems. Particularly if you consider the totality of such expressions. From Iran right now, much of the news we are getting is not really different in kind than *sitting at home and typing on the internet*
With hitler we invaded a country who had no weapons of mass destruction, and didn't perpetrate pearl harbor. Hitler didn't even harbor japanese kamikaze pilot jihadis.
