Dennis Prager: Dear Iranians: Don’t Count on America (or Any Country Led by Left)
Filed under: Dennis Prager, Iran, Obama, U.N., US Foreign Policy, World
“The administration has remained as quiet as possible during the Iranian election season and in the days of street protests since Friday’s vote.”
– Washington Post , Monday June 15, 2009
“We’re going to withhold comment. … I mean we’re just waiting to see.”
– Vice-President Joe Biden
“We are monitoring the situation as it unfolds in Iran but we, like the rest of the world, are waiting and watching to see what the Iranian people decide.”
– Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
“Most countries appeared to be taking a wait-and-see approach, including the European Union and China, Germany, Italy and Japan — nations with strong economic ties to Iran. France said it was closely following the situation.”
– Associated Press, June 13, 2009
For those who look to “world opinion,” “the opinion of mankind,” or to the United Nations for moral guidance or for coming to the aid of victims of oppression, the past few days and presumably the next few days in Iran, provide yet another example of their uselessness.
A million or more Iranians are demonstrating against last Friday’s obviously stolen election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the world — except for the lowlifes who rule places like Venezuela and Syria and who immediately sent their effusive congratulations to Ahmadinejad — is quiet. The world is “closely following the situation,” just as it followed the situations of the Jews during the Holocaust, the Ukrainians, the Chinese under Mao, the Rwandans, the Cambodians, Tibetans, and so many others.
