Iran obama, THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING

President Obama called Saturday for the Iranian government to refrain from violence and injustice against its own citizens.

"The Iranian government must understand that the world is watching," Obama said in a White House statement. "We mourn each and every innocent life that is lost. We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people."

He said the United States stands with all who seek to exercise what he called the universal rights to assembly and free speech.

The statement came as Iranian security forces cracked down Saturday on demonstrators in Tehran in continuing protests against the outcome of Iran's June 12 election.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the overwhelming victor in voting that opposition groups called rigged. No independent monitors were permitted for the election, and protests against the outcome grew in succeeding days.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets Saturday, even though the demonstrations were banned and police confronted them with clubs, tear gas and water cannons. A threatening statement a day earlier by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had raised fears of bloodshed.

Obama received intelligence briefings and discussed the situation with senior advisers throughout the day, an administration official told CNN.

In his statement, Obama repeated a message from his recent speech to the Muslim world in Cairo, Egypt, that "suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away."

"The Iranian people will ultimately judge the actions of their own government," Obama said in the statement.

"If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect the dignity of its own people and govern through consent, not coercion."

I applaud the Iranian people for trying to overthrow tyranny!! Godspeed!

We support you and hope you support us in the US when It's our turn.

As an American myself, I would rather we follow the current approach our President is taking. This whole Ayatollah government mess was a product of our involvement in their government 60 years ago. Iran would be democratically more stronger if they can resolve this themselves. The Iranian Ministry are doing all the right moves to get themselves removed by their own people and establish a more free, democratic government.
