“President Barack Obama said Monday he was ‘deeply troubled’ by the violence in Iran that he’s been seeing on television. ‘I think that the democratic process, free speech, the ability of people to peacefully dissent — all of those are universal values and need to be respected.’ He was right to say these things. He should have stopped there. But Obama rambled on. And out of the four muddled paragraphs that followed, his approach to the Iran Moment became clear. Under President Obama, our approach to Iran — the world’s foremost state sponsor of terror, a rogue regime racing toward nuclear capability — is not only not regime change, it’s de facto regime preservation.” (06/17/09)
