The world is upside down. While the US under Obama is supporting the Iranian regime, France and other European leaders have spoken out. They have condemned the regime and their violence against the Iranian people. Not to long ago, it was America that supported people’s aspirations and Europeans backing tyrants.
European leaders condemn Iranian violence
European leaders today parted company with a cautious White House in their response to events in Iran, with France and Italy speaking out against the brutal treatment of demonstrators protesting at the presidential election result.
Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, described the situation in Iran as “extremely alarming” and denounced as “totally disproportionate” the crackdown on demonstrators, which has left eight people dead.
Sarkozy, who was in Gabon for the funeral of President Omar Bongo, said: “The ruling power claims to have won the elections … If that were true, we must ask why they find it necessary to imprison their opponents and repress them with such violence.”
The world is indeed upside down.
