Amil Imani's Essay: "Today Everyone Is an Iranian"

In today's American Thinker.

Excerpt:
President Obama's halting comments only made clear his fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the Islamic regime. It appears President Obama is going to betray the Iranian people as Jimmy Carter did 3 decades earlier....
Earlier in the essay, Mr. Imani stated:
It is critical that freedom-loving people, governments and media, rally behind the Iranian people and end the tyrannical mullahcracy that is a scourge on Iran as well as the world. The Iranian people themselves are fully capable and are determined to remove the cancer of Islamism from their country. The United States and Israel and other democracies have a huge stake in the success of the Iranian people to rid themselves of the Islamic oppression and tyranny.

The situation in Iran is dire indeed. Anyone who believes that sane rational people on both sides are engaged in brinkmanship to secure the best advantage, but would eventually work out a compromise, is deluding himself. In some cases, time works as a healer and even as a solution of thorny problems. Yet, this problem will not go away, and time would only make the cataclysmic clash more likely and deadly. The best chance for resolving the impasse is regime change in Iran.
The quotation he cited at the beginning of the essay is worth thinking about, not only with regard to Iran:
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John F. Kennedy

Something is happening -- 8:45 EST -- CNN reports armed police have blocked protest crowds from entering a square. It looks like today may be the showdown.
