Change is good, it is growth, it is the opposite of death

I’m so torn in commenting on the energy for change in Iran.  This article got me there finally. 

Gauging Obama in Iran – NYTimes.com

This isn’t George’s or Obama’s country, it’s ours:

"On one side, a handful of supporters of President Bush said Iranian protesters had taken to the streets because they were emboldened by President Bush’s pro-democracy stance, and the example of Shiite democracy he set up in Iraq. On the other side, some of President Obama’s backers countered that the mere election of Barack Obama in the United States had galvanized reformers in Iran to demand change."

This is what makes America great – while I don’t agree with many of the approaches and policies of our current administration I accept his election and love my constitution and country.  For no other country can have such debate, transformation and consideration for freedom.  The fringe in our country is simply the fringe  – while it rules in other countries as there is no mechanism for changing leadership so.  Look at what we have done. This is why the world loves Americans, and what our constitution represents.
