| [IsraelTimes] With Iranians’ anger at the ayatollahs again erupting into protests, the international community has a chance to atone for its failure 13 years ago — and every interest in doing so.

America’s Democratic presidency desperately wants to be friends with the Ayatollahs, which for some reason they see as the future. In June of 2009, millions of Iranians joined protests nationwide in the wake of the "reelection" of Mahmoud Short RoundAhmadinejad as president, in a vote widely recognized as rigged. The regime resorted to heavy violence to put down the demonstrations, attacking and arresting protesters and killing dozens of them — most resonantly Neda Agha-Solton, a philosophy student whose shooting by a gunman from the Basij paramilitary group was captured on film and broadcast worldwide. |
