US Supports Irani Revolution

In light of this recent development, I was overjoyed to hear President Bush's statement to the Irani people in tonight's State of the Union Address: Iranians, we support your revolution!

Excerpt from The State of the Union Address:

The same is true of Iran, a nation now held hostage by a small clerical elite that is isolating and repressing its people. The regime in that country sponsors terrorists in the Palestinian territories and in Lebanon, and that must come to an end.

(APPLAUSE)

The Iranian government is defying the world with its nuclear ambitions, and the nations of the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons.

(APPLAUSE)

BUSH: America will continue to rally the world to confront these threats.

And, tonight, let me speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America respects you and we respect your country. We respect your right to choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our nation hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran.

What does this statement mean?

1) We acknowledge the pride of the Irani people.
2) We understand that this fight is theirs.
3) We know that by attacking Iran we would only rally the people around their corrupt government because Iranis love their country first and regard their government as arbitrary when their country and countrymen are under attack.
4) We are under the gun because of the nuclear situation, and so action must come quickly.
5) That action must be revolution and we will support it.
