Iran has issued a sharp rebuke to the United Stated and Britain for “meddling” in election affairs as the country continues to be rocked by violence and conflict following the presidential election.

I don't think President Obama has said enough or sternly enough. Like children, the evil Supreme Ruler and his thugs, need to know that their will be consequences if they harm and don't start listening to the people. Then they need to be told clearly what the consequences will be.
It's really no use getting physically involved anyway if you ask me, both presidential candidates are evil and don't really want what's best for the people and will still have to be ruled by the Supreme Ruler...
Calling their country a "democracy" and electing a president is just propaganda in Iran...

what do you think about Obama, reactions on Iran, politics? The United State doing a good jobs to support democracy. But we need to know, that this is an Internal Affairs problem of Iran. The only things that Obama, reactions is really good. The International community has the full authority to condemn and react on the issue not America.

Prarie, if you think that our government doesn't have a hand in this mess, then you are wrong. Our CIA has worked in Iran for years trying to take down the government and was reportedly close to doing this in 2002, but when the US started talking about invading Iraq that all went away. Obama is doing exactly what he should do, we wouldn't like it if the Russians, or Iranians told us not to do something. The best thing that we can do is what we are doing, which is bring attention to what is going on, and allow the people to rise up and take the country over. The last thing we need right now is another Iraq.

I assume than that you don't think a President should speak out against human rights violations?
America shouldn't try to be the example and torch for freedom all over the world?
I don't think we should jump right in and start a war, but President Obama could have said more against the evil Supreme Leader killing people for protesting.
That's all they were doing was protesting...

Prarie, do you think that this should be about the president of the United States, and the president of Iran? NO, it should be about the people who are standing up to the leaders of Iran, and their desire to change their country. The more other countries say about this, the more Iran can use that support to show the country what they would be getting if they lose power. They see what has happened in Iraq, and they have already said that the protesters are plants by the CIA. Some of the smartest people in foreign affairs have said that Obama is doing the right thing. But, the haters will do what they do best: HATE.
