Krauthammer Kicks Butt

Charles Krauthammer, who writes a column for The Washington Post, takes on the situation in Iran and our government's reaction thereto. There is no question where he stands on the issue.

All hangs in the balance. The Khamenei regime is deciding whether to do a Tiananmen. And what side is the Obama administration taking? None.

It is a good column. Krauthammer argues we have nothing to lose in backing the protesters. I'm not certain he's correct.

If we back the rebellion with talk, but not with actions, we might end up with an outcome like the Prague Spring of 1968. That is, a result where thousands are killed, the bad guys are left in charge, and we end up looking weak.
