French president Nikolas Sarkozy in particular, have been vehement in their denunciations of the regime's electoral and respondent human rights violations.
According to Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, imposing sanctions on Iran will be at the forefront of the upcoming G8 meeting, and are expected to top the G8 leaders' agenda. All but one, it would seem: our own president, Barack Obama. In fact, our president showed his support of green Iranian freedom this Fourth of July by
promising to block further financial sanctions of the Iranian government at the upcoming G8 meeting. US officials claim that a tough stance against Iran could backfire.
My question to President Obama and US government officials is this: backfire how? By resulting in an even tougher crackdown on protesters? How is that possible? More missed Fourth of July barbeques by Iranian diplomats? Boo-hoo. Iran refusing to negotiate on its shady nuke program? They've already refused to.
