I honestly think if our President came out early with harsh wording on:
1) human right violations (of which Iran is guilty of many),
2) the inherent rights of a democracy to allow their people freedoms (of which there are a controlled number there), and voicing strong language against violence against free speech and the right to peaceful assembly as a means to allow a country's people their voice (something that being black in America should qualify him to speak towards)that we would feel better about his foreign policy position in situations much like this. That he had to wait until the video of Neda was posted everywhere to do so is, in my opinion, weak. It doesn't take much. It's not a tricky issue.
