A New Level Of Horror In Iran

From ABC:
An Iranian woman has given harrowing details of what she says was a massacre of protesters in Tehran's Baharestan Square on Wednesday.
Reports this morning suggest thousands of police and pro-government militia used guns, clubs and teargas to suppress a large opposition rally in the square.
Speaking to CNN, the unnamed woman said it was a "massacre".
"I was going to Baharestan with my friends ... to express our opposition to these killings and demanding freedom," she said.
"But the black-clad police stopped everyone ... they emptied the buses that were taking people there and let the private cars go on.
"We went on ... and then all of a sudden some 500 people with clubs ... came out of [a nearby mosque], and they poured into the streets and they started beating everyone."
The woman said the attackers started beating people on a pedestrian bridge heading to the square, with some people being thrown over the side.
"They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood, and her husband who was watching the scene, he just fainted.
"I also saw [the security forces] shooting young people.
"This was a massacre. They were trying to beat people so that they would die. They were cursing... they were beating old men.
"This was exactly a massacre. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom.
"There were thousands of people on the street.
"I heard the shooting and we just ran away. I didn't see what happened but I'm sure people are dead there."
CNN said another source inside Tehran had described people being "shot like animals".
The witness went on: "In the previous days they are killing students with axes, they put the axe through the heart of young men, and it's so devastating I don't know how to describe it.
"This is horrific, this is genocide, this is a massacre, this is Hitler. And you people should stop it. It's time to act."
==========================================

The people of Iran are begging us to stand up for their freedom. Obama needs to stop avoiding the toe-stepping with the leaders of Iran and urge immediate embargoes on all oil leaving Iran. The regime must be shown there are consequences for violations of human rights. There are punishments for crimes against humanity. The world needs to act. Iran is acting in a way that defies, instead of sanctions, instead of nuclear suspension requests, it violates human rights.

Iran is acting while Obama stands to the side. We must act. We need to act. The people of Iran are asking for our help. We have a moral obligation as the leaders of the free world to act.

The world dislikes the United States because of the first failed Kurd independance promise, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, the failed Mogadishu incident, the failed war in Vietnam. The promise behind all of them was freedom for the people. We failed.

We can redeem ourselves by coming to the aid of those who ask us to help them. South Vietnam didn't ask us to help them, Somali's needed help but they didn't request us to do it, and the Bay of Pigs was organized by us. Iranian are asking for us to fulfil our promise to lead the world into freedom. We are the shining city on the hill. We shine with the energy, the feelings of freedom. We can share this power source to the world at no cost by simply standing up for the rights of others.

Obama, do your damn job already. Hillary, either quit or do your job. McCain, keep up the good work.
