The left in America claimed that Obama’s speech would change everything. They claimed the Ayatollahs in Iran would allow Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to lose. The theory was that by allowing a moderate to win, it would signal that Iran would accept Obama’s hand of friendship (appeasement). Well, Iran has sent their message. It is a closed fist with a middle finger sticking out!

Ahmadinejad wins Iran election, Mousavi cries foul

TEHRAN (Reuters) – Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won Iran’s election by a thumping margin, according to official results which his moderate challenger rejected on Saturday as a “dangerous charade” that could lead to tyranny.

The level of the incumbent’s support, nearly twice as many votes as former Prime Minister Mirhossein Mousavi with most ballots counted from Friday’s poll, confounded widespread expectations that the race would at least go to a second round.

Obama’s speech has failed. The Ayatollahs have shown the world that their real agenda is Islamic Imperialist Domination. This creates a dilemma for progressives, they admire Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because he hates Israel and calls for its destruction. However, Obama is their Messiah. This will get very interesting and the moral of the story: appeasement doesn’t work. These progressives will still kiss up to the Islamo-Fascists. They will never learn.
