Washington Post Appoints Own Nobel Laureate

She's Neda Agha-Soltan. (h/t Winston)

If the Nobel Peace Prize is going to be politicized it might as well send the correct message, and that's not one of bowing to brutal dictatorships. It's one of recognizing and supporting peaceful liberation struggles.

And speaking of Winston, according to a posting on his twitter account, another big rally is planned for November 4th, the thirtieth anniversary of the seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran by radical students/thugs. There have been an ever increasing number of rallies. They have never really stopped, in fact, since the June election sham. They've just dropped off the MSM radar screen.

How ironic that thirty years ago, when this whole thuggish regime came to power, there was another wimpish Democratic president in the Oval Office. Things have come full circle. We're right back where we started.

What a difference a new President makes. Remember the ripples that shot through the Arab world following George Bush's decision to topple Saddam Hussein? Dictatorships in the Arab and Muslim world became very frightened of what their own people might start to demand and eased up on the dictatorial mode they were so comfortable with and began to implement reforms. Now, regrettably, they are quite happy to return to their grumbling and finger pointing in the other direction, blaming their moral and political bankruptcy on the US or the West in general. That's what Obama's diplomacy has wrought .... so far.
