President Obama will throw his hat in the ring today and condemn the violence in Iran that has made apparent a splintering in the mindset of Iranians. Many including Senator John McCain have complained that Obama has not been vocal enough in support of the protesters, who seek Democracy, freedom, and their voice being heard. Obama explained on CBS early Monday that the U.S getting involved will only inflame the situation by allowing the leadership to claim the uprising was U.S sponsored. Obama said that statements from the White House would help create an anti West propoganda rallying tool, to help the Clerics thwart the growing discontent on the streets of Tehran. Above are protesters on Saturday.
