This is EXACTLY why WE LIBERALS are the ONLY ONES who can really take-on religious right-wing extremism. Now that this has been established and publicly demonstrated as well-proven fact, will the GOP please sit down and FINALLY take a break? Just take a pause for the cause, will ya'? - Sit back, relax and enjoy a nice big steaming cup of shut-the-fuck-up.
This isn't an "anti-Iranian"-thing, this isn't an "anti-Islam"-thing, this isn't even an "anti-Iranian President"-thing - this is anti-theocracy, anti-conservative, anti-fascism thing. The American people, the Iranian people, the Iraqi people, the Palestinian people, the Israeli people and the people of Afghanistan all have this one thing in common: We all currently live under oil-fixated, pro-corporate, pro-military, pro-religion governments which have been taken over, co-opted or disproportionately manipulated by the far-right. We're all in THAT boat together. As far as I can tell, the fundamentalists are working together while pretending to hate each other. THAT's why it was a good thing that the Iranian President stood in front of a large audience of mostly liberal intellectuals and caught some heat.
Now, if we could just get OUR right-wing asshole - George Dubya Bush - to go speak at the University of Tehran, I bet that the smart, well-informed, intellectual Iranian youth and their best, most-liberal college professors could return the favor! I'd LOVE to see George W. Bush stand up take the questions (and the heat) from an auditorium full of Iranian college students!
