by today's standards? anyone before Jimmy Carter save for FDR.
Well the 1st 3 were the chain of laissez-faire republicans that looked the other way while greedy bankers built a house of cards that caused the great depression.
The controls that FDR put in place protected us until Dubya and company thought laissz-faire would be just great.
Jackson was a populist that abolished the federal bank because he disagreed with it he also stole some citizens land to give to others. Just like Adolf Hitler.

Tiz I understand the point you are trying to make. I myself am not sure what Obama should do. A bit of a stronger statement, at least saying that the US sides with the forces of freedom and democracy and opposes tyranny would be a decent message. Just know this -- Hate and irrationality needs no excuse. Blameshifting, scapegoating, and rallying around false causes is what keeps despots in power and strangles the voices of opposition. In other words, regardless of what the US does the Iranian tyrants will accuse us of meddling. So meddle....
Yes, because meddling in other countries affairs has worked out so well for us. The term "blowback" is meaningless to some people.
We poke our big fucking beak where it doesn't belong, and then later try to sit down with the same clowns we were just stoking a revolution against for nuclear negotionations. Does that make the least amount of sense to anyone?
Some of you guys are so short sighted it's mind boggling.
How about, for once, we mind our own fucking business?
hno:
accusing is alot different than actually doing
dubya would probably be up there shouting Ahmid(however u spell it) is a tyrant, thug, and an oppressor and such and such
and they'd blast it loud and clear on their propaganda machine TV station
and would likely rile up the pro Ahmid crowd
guys like Ahmid hold power and feed on external enemies to keep control and oppress its people.....their domestic economy and such has been turned to shambles under his regime
on top of the fact the people of iran should be allowed to figure out their idea of freedom and what type of system they want
not go in guns a blazing like iraq and show them what freedom is all about (lots of deaths, lots of pain and suffering, that the people of iraq never chose)
The Iranian government, meanwhile, accused the U.S. for the first time of interfering in the postelection dispute. Iran protested to the Swiss ambassador, who represents U.S. affairs in Iran because the two nations have no diplomatic ties.

And how about if we mind our own business, and the forces of oppression crush the opposition, and the terror-sponsoring despots remain in power? When it's quite possible that a little push [and I never said militarily] from us might help topple the evil.
You are dealing with a bunch of lying thugs who are going to accuse the US of meddling whether we meddle or not. As I said, shifting blame on the US and Israel is what oppressive regimes do to whip up their own populations into a frenzy of displaced anger at others so the leaders are not taken to task for the depths of depravity their subjects live under.
I never said I was sure my opinion was right. But why are you so sure our gov't should do nothing? What if the French had done nothing during our Revolution?
And by the way there is no way Iran will negotiate away its nukes.
