Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asked Obama for an apology for the statements he made a few weeks ago. The way the Iranians are treating their residents is very cruel and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany feels the same. The demonstrations over the disputed elections in Iran have escalated into violent clashes, heightening concerns about instability in Iran and how to should deal with its nuclear program. Obama accused the Iranian leaders of violating “universal norms, international norms,” saying that the bravery of the people of Iran is “a testament to their enduring pursuit of justice.” He also said that he would not apologize for the statements he has made.
I enjoyed reading this article. Even though I do not exactly know everything that’s going on in the demonstrations, I think that Obama and Merkel are doing a good job by seeing what’s going on and not turning the “blind eye” on it.
