Story from non-story.
Well, at least I'm not alone. . .
Atlas Shrugs June 14, 2009:
It's always been the Mullahs
..............
I feel for those terrified souls marching through Tehran blindly acting out in hope that it might effect any change. An exercise in futility. If they value their lives, they will flee the country. We should have backed the reformers and the dissidents years ago when free men had a shot ............. now we are here.
Crowds are protesting at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's alleged 'rigged' victory. The allegations of fixed elections come after polls showed that half of the electorate wanted Ahmadinejad. But if that is so, if half of the electorate wanted this
bloodthirsty jihadi annihilationist, then what are we talking about?
Bottom line, this is a non story. It's smoke and mirrors. The Mullahs are running the mahdi madhouse, and they have their world agenda. This is nonsense.
But now, today, she seems to have found her way. I wish I had that kind of enlightenment. . .

"All hangs in the balance"
Every once in awhile I risk incurring Robert Tracinski's wrath by running his whole column from TIA Daily (which is worth the price of subscription). Today is such a day, because it is so fundamentally important that everyone should read it and send it to their email lists. What is happening in Iran is historic. What started out as an election fracas is obviously so much more. The pity is that we have a pantywaist in the White House, eager to subjugate the US to Islamic interests. Pity that Bush isn't in the White House. This is what he hoped would happen. It did, five minutes too late.
Listen, at IBA it was obvious from the outset that this was no mere dustup, no election fracas. The Iranian people are tired of the boot on their neck, lash on their back, loved ones disappearing into the Hell that is Evin.
From the start we've stood with the Iranians on this. This could be historic of proportions we don't yet fathom but we need to encourage and support them as they grab for freedom. This could be the birth of a new country if they want it and a new dynamic in the mid east if they can keep it.
We've understood that from the start. Thus our wall to wall cheerleading since Sunday. Everyone should be doing the same and good on those who are. And utter shame on our miserable failure of a faux president.
Welcome aboard, Atlas.

A bit of perspective. We have all been following this story, from various perspectives, since it began nearly a week ago. In that time while I have been out and interacting with the public, not one person has volunteered comment on the situation in Iran (or North Korea), though I have heard plenty about Obama swatting the fly, PETA pitching a fit at Obama over the fly, Boxer pitching a fit at General Walsh for calling her "Ma'am" (which is military protocol as she would know had she ever spent any time around the military), the new iPhone, Letterman vs. Palin, the "Clark Rockefeller" trial, and the dead Continental Airlines pilot.
They are asleep out there. Compared to them, we are all wide awake.
I'll second that, Revere. There was one other person at work who talks about it a bit.
At least Atlas is FINALLY talking about the non-story. She reaches a lot of people.
I'm glad to see that Pamela has decided that this is indeed a story. She has such a wide readership.
Yes, exactly. Took her long enough.
She did have a few good pieces up earlier in the week but still seemed to come to "something to see here but nothing will come of it". NOW she's finally saying "Whoa, what's going on here?"
Well said.
