The Angry White Guy

I have a friend in Sari, Iran – I last spoke to him about 2 years ago. We talked about everything from scale models to music to the war in Iraq to what is Iran like to live in to what is America like to live in, to food… he had a personal website that he wrote of freedom, equality, expression and liberty, I enjoyed our conversations and his name was Saeed (the best I remember).

One day his website and online presents just vanished, he just disappeared and I haven’t heard from him since, I sent e-mails, forum messages and nothing, I never received a reply… one can only speculate what happened to him, he did speak out strongly against the Iranian leadership. At first I didn’t give it much thought, people vanish online all the time, people come and people go that’s the way it is on the net, we know someone online for a while this poof one day, gone.

But somehow this seemed different, Saeed wanted freedom in a oppressive country and liberty he spoke out and he said what was wrong with country (much like what I do with mine), he wanted what we in America take of granted and I have no idea if he had to flee his country or if he was imprisoned, kill or silenced for his beliefs, but he always said there was a chance that would happen that he would just vanish, but he didn’t care as the fight was greater then himself. I never give it much thought, until it happened and it was only a passing though and I moved on.

Today the fight has come to a head, the Iranian people are fighting for freedom, fight for themselves and their children, fighting for liberty. Fighting for fairness and for a voice, fighting for representation.

…but Obama does nothing. Obama talks a empty game and ignores the call for action and support, Obama does nothing more than to show his weakness, his indecisiveness, his cowardices, his spinelessness. Obama says he doesn’t want to “meddle” when the truth is he doesn’t want to take a stand, to have a backbone, to be a leader. The big dogs are saying bark, bite and lead the pack when the truth be known Obama is nothing more than a puppy on the porch.

I for one support the people of Iran, I support their cause, their sacrifice. All they want is democracy, all they want is freedom, all they want is the support of the west and America and Obama does nothing. I’d meddle in their busy, you’re going to be accused of it anyway, might as will do something if you are going to be charged.

Hey Obama you worm why not tell Neda you don’t want to meddle….

In case you are wondering, you watched her die for freedom and you received the same warning she did… none. These are things you need to see, real people being shot with real bullets in a fight for real freedom. Revolution is never pretty, never clean and never without cost.

Neda identified? Update: New details

Word on the street via one Iranian tweeter is that her name was Neda Agha Soltan. That’s also the name circulating on a few websites and now being attributed to her in a hastily arranged Wikipedia bio. The rumor — and it’s all rumor until some newspaper tracks down her family — is that she was 27 years old and a philosophy student. I hope to god this isn’t really her photo because the thought of her being so beautiful and dignified makes the murder somehow that much more obscene.

GOP Lawmakers Press Obama to Take Tougher Stance on Iran
They killed Neda, but not her voice
Saturday in Iran: Deadly crackdown, Obama finally condemns; some foreign embassies reportedly accepting injured
In Tehran, an eerie calm as death toll jumps to 17

So why the GREEN type? Support for those fighting for freedom and democracy on the streets of Tehran and other cities on Iran, Insha’ Allah.
