Newsmax.com : Iran-Election Protesters Throng U.N
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman
Thousands of Iranian-Americans flocked to the United Nations in New York to protest Iran's recent elections and to assail President Barack Obama for his failure to support the Iranian people after the disputed elections.
The protesters came from all over the country carrying signs. “Thank You Obama 4 Condemning and Not Meddling,” read one sign carried by Fred Maghnati, a 57-year old Iranian-American who traveled to New York from Clarksville, Md. He hastened to explain that his sign was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. “Obama didn’t help us. I don’t see that he is doing anything for us now. He has just been helping the Iranian government behind closed doors,” he told Newsmax on Wednesday.
... Ardeshir Zarezadeh, who was also arrested during the 1999 uprising and until recently worked for the Persian Service of the Voice of America, said he now saw the possibility of an authentic opposition coalition “that could serve as a temporary government during a transition period” after the current regime falls.
“The possibility for real change in Iran is increasing,” he said.
