jatfla says:

Krauthammer notes that this revolution "would mark a decisive blow to Islamist radicalism, of which Iran today is not just standard-bearer and model, but financier and arms supplier."

He notes that our President doesn't want to be seen as "meddling"...the very "president who fancies himself the restorer of America's moral standing in the world."

Millions of Iranians take to the streets to defy a theocratic dictatorship that, among its other finer qualities, is a self-declared enemy of America and the tolerance and liberties it represents. The demonstrators are fighting on their own, but they await just a word that America is on their side.
