Black and White And Green IV: The Silence Of Our Friends

clipped from pajamasmedia.com Under the circumstances, you’d think that your government would be talking to the Greens.  But you’d be wrong.  Perhaps Hillary Clinton thought she was telling the truth when she claimed, a few days after the insurrection of June 12th, that “behind the scenes” we were helping the Iranian opposition.  If so, she shouldn’t have said anything about it, but I don’t think she was well informed.  There are no contacts between the American Government and the leaders of the opposition.  One should not expect the new government to look kindly upon a President Obama who publicly sweet-talked the Tehran butchers, and all but begged Khamenei for a few minutes of his precious time.  The same applies to the Europeans, all of whom scrambled for oil and other commercial contracts, and none of whom talked to the Green leaders. As so often, Martin Luther King Jr. summed it up perfectly:  “In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
