And just WHOSE interests was Dr. Paul elected to represent? And (allegedly) whose interests was the Pres__ent hired to represent?

Oh, that’s right... AMERICAN interests. I realize that Obambi only represents American interests when it suits his socialist agenda, but Dr. Paul is quite correct when he asserts that it is none of our OFFICIAL business what is happening in Iran. While we, on this forum, as PRIVATE CITIZENS, are fully free to express our opinions, our support for the dissidents and our loathing of the regime in Tehran, our GOVERNMENT is supposed to be looking out for these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not sticking its nose into the internal affairs of another nation, not for ANY reason. And, as someone mentioned, it is totally hypocritical to want to condemn one nation whilst ignoring even worse behavior in another, just because it supposedly supports us (even as it exports the Wahhabism brand of evil islam, which is so anti-American it should make your eyes water. Dr. Paul is correct and he is properly representing his employers, the Americans who elected him to office.

od bless you! I hope that Emo4SC doesn't mind if I snag & re-print that statement by George Washington (THANK YOU Emo!):

I have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation had a right to inter-meddle in the internal concerns of another; and that, if this country could, consistent with its engagements, maintain a strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace. George Washington – Letter to James Monroe, August 25, 1796

“what is happening in Iran”

What exactly is happening in Iran?

Because frankly, the only information that we are getting about Iran comes from the establishment media and the federal government.

I find it interesting that just as we were starting to talk about socializing X% of the Republic’s GDP through (more) unconstitutional federal intrusion in health care, all of a sudden we are plastered with wall to wall news about the national elections in a third world country. For what purpose? This is all a nice big distraction as the current administration takes over car companies, interferes with private contracts, puts just about everyone with a conservative or traditionalist view on a watch list, devalues the currency, goes after the 2A etc.

BTW...what about our electronic voting systems? Are they secure?
