..What makes Obama stick to his "outstreched hand" to those who "unclench their fist"?..

It is a complicated case consising of multiple factors.

..Can`t Obama climb down from that stupid tree, roar and help the good people in Iran to topple these tyrants..

Good people of Iran are opposing evil people of Iran in the internal struggle. Although he should. he is also the President who had accused US in `oppresing` the Muslims & ME meddiling from A to Z. Will he meddle himself? When one day he plans to ask those good mullahs to remember his bowed head & perheps (with the big please and thank you) their harts & teary eyes will overflow with joy looking at his friendly face full of humbleness. And they will get up & say: hell with the nukes, & Israel Smizrael, ah lets dance. But going back to the good people of Iran, assume they prevail as they morally should. You had said it yourself, Mr Mousavi will immediately become the West`s good veil, but probably as lousy nukes negotiator.
