Let Iran Decide Its Own Destiny June 23, 2009

Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

June 23, 2009

Twenty years after the dramatic and heart-rending events in China?s Tiananmen Square, a similar drama is playing out in the streets of Tehran as hundreds of thousands protest what they are convinced was a rigged and stolen election. Scores of demonstrators have been assaulted, and more than a dozen killed.

While we should applaud and encourage those in Iran seeking freedom, the U.S. government must abstain from direct involvement. Twice in the past six decades ? in 1953 and again in 1978 ? Washington intervened in Iranian political affairs. This is in violation of our Constitution and the highest principles of our Founders.

There is evidence as well that the CIA and National Endowment for Democracy have already been active promoting demonstrations in Iran. If this is the case this involvement must end immediately.

It would be wonderful to see Iran take a turn for freedom ? but that nation?s future is its own to define.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
