    But Obama chose to say nothing and obamas always right. No matter that the last attempt at revolution in iran was quashed as Obama turned a blind eye.

    Obama had no less nor more effect than Trump on ME politics. In the Levant, you guys - and that means either Demos or Repus, mind you - may control the gas and break pedals but the steering wheel remain in zionist and autocratic hands, in either Ryhad or Tel-Aviv.

    I'd say Obama had a huge effect on the Arab spring and in Libya.

    Then you'd be naive. Obama just did what he was told to do. Are you saying me with a straight face that another President would have acted otherwise?

    No - they'll murder their way out of these protests like they did in 2009, 1999 and during the 80's. We've seen this movie before...

    The Israeli and Saud lobbies, the former more than the later. These guys don't mind who won the US elections. Both parties' representatives are "their men".

    Trump should give a speech in support of the mullahs, like Obama did.

    The Ayatollahs had it coming for some time. Iran is a young, dynamic nation and this is the way of the future as power will transfer from one generation to another.

    However, it would be mistaken to think that Iran's social revolution is one on the US/Israeli/Saud Axis. I'd rather look to the East if I were you guys, unless you want another Frankenstein of your own biting you in the arse.

    The ME isn't like the US; There more than one party and a half involved. Choices are not always so binary out there.

    No anti-Israel US President can ever be elected. All Presidential nominees must make a public pledge to AIPAC, the sole exception being Jewish candidate Bernie Sanders.

    Obama was simply less hysterically zionistic than his presidential peers. Didn't prevent him from hiring Rahm Emanuel and give Israel the US taxpayers' money at the rate of 3 billions a year. Wake up.

    Until the advent of Trump, I’d have always answered that, No. USFP for the most part is static and it transcends administrations largely with some few cavities. But this Trump fella is a whole new deal and it’s hard to say.

    You’ve no doubt seen Wesley Clarke’s Pentagon list for countries in the Middle East. So far a pretty good bipartisan effort.

    I guess this is an internal matter: the protests begun in a city with a certain traditional presence ... may be the present government in Tehran is perceived by Ayatollah as "too progressive" [imagine!].

    Yet until I posted up the link with Trump. No one other than the leftness had brought him up. See how that TDS works.

    I guess you missed the point of patronizing Americans on both sides, shrug.

    No I didn't miss it.....as Most understand (if they are not a leftist) that it isn't fair and balanced. Especially not when it comes to opening a pie hole.

    There’s Americans on the left and right patronizing American aggressions. So I don’t care what team someone’s on. If you support American Military adventurisms around the world you’re part of the problem not the solution.

    No, the Saudis just use the petro dollar so Washington can control the world, and in return we let the Saudis make their billions with the oil wells, provided they invest heavily in the US.

    Oh Military adventurism also includes those relief actions wherein lives are saved. Maybe we should just allow others to die just like they would if no one came to help.

    See your problem Monte is.....you can't stand the US being the Premier Super Power of the Planet. Hence all that Anti American doctrine you put out there. Which is based on what.....some moral bullshit when it comes to Human Nature that you can't apply to others. Just to Americans.

    Besides the fact that you could never quote me criticizing any sort of humanitarian aid distributed by the US military, it’s not just s problem for me. You’re one of those guys that hates might unless you and your party is the ones that’s projecting it. That’s nothing but thick hypocrisy. A unipolar world is a threat to global security. You wouldn’t like it if that unipolar world was dominated by Russia or China or India, but as long as it’s dominated by American conservatives it’s no problem. You’re attitude is a threat to global security as well. A balance of power is more conducive to global security and that’s where we’re headed. I just hope it’s not too painful getting there.
