Any chance of someone getting this CNN interview excerpt over to the President?
Mohammad: Excuse me, sir. I have a message for the international community. Would you please let me tell it?
Roberts: Yes, go ahead.
Mohammad: Americans, European Union, international community, this government is not definitely — is definitely not elected by the majority of Iranians. So it’s illegal. Do not recognize it. Stop trading with them. Impose much more sanctions against them. My message…to the international community, especially I’m addressing President Obama directly – how can a government that doesn’t recognize its people’s rights and represses them brutally and mercilessly have nuclear activities? This government is a huge threat to global peace. Will a wise man give a sharp dagger to an insane person? We need your help international community. Don’t leave us alone.
Chetry: Mohammad, what do you think the international community should do besides sanctions?
Mohammad: Actually, this regime is really dependent on importing gasoline. More than 85% of Iran’s gasoline is imported from foreign countries. I think international communities must sanction exporting gasoline to Iran and that might shut down the government.
How will the President respond?
Well, I’m guessing that Mohammed probably won’t be invited to the July 4th Embassy Parties. Those are for Iranian Government officials only.
I hear they’ll be serving ice cream.
There are so many articles with so many ways of saying “Obama is messing this up” that I can’t really say anything and actually be able to call it my own.
However, I agree with whoever said that “Obama is only angry since this is distracting everyone from him.”
Also… here’s hoping the Iranians get the freedom every person deserves.
