A 20-something who blogged mean things about the Iranian government is dead.
He died in prison, in a Tehran prison that is known for housing political prisoners.
And yet, we want to reach out and "talk" to this country?
Obama is on drugs. You cannot talk reason with a madman. You cannot talk reason with a country who hates the U.S. not for what they said, but for what we are and stand for:
A non-Muslim based country who agrees with free speech (well, when it suits the liberals), and keeping God/Allah out of things.
Waving the white flag means one things to the Iranian government: Surrender.
Asinine.

How could the death of a young man arrested for "insulting' the Ayatollah be s surprise? Regard for human life is not high on the list of things these people care about.
Violence and barbaric actions are the norm.
They cannot be reasoned with, at least not by us.
We don't see the world in the same way, we don't believe in the same things, even remotely.
We hear the speeches made by the extremists and can't really believe that they mean, literally mean, what they are saying. And that is our mistake. Not to take their threats and promise as seriously as they are making them.
They are telling us what they will do it's time we believe it and act accordingly.
The saying "we gave them an inch and they took a mile" is pretty darn accurate. It's far past the time to stop giving.
