Obama Invites Iranian Butchers to July 4th Ceremonies

It is an American tradition that throughout the world, its embassies invite diplomats from other nations to share in their Independence Day celebrations on July 4th. Since an Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979 that held dozens of Americans captive for more than a year, they have been denied this privilege.

Several weeks ago and after three decades of Iranian hostility, President Barack Hussein Obama extended a July 4th invitation to their diplomats. That was two weeks before current events in Iran witnessed protesting students being beaten and shot, with at least 17 confirmed deaths.Yesterday and after a week of tepid excuses from Obama, he refused to rescind this invitation to Iranian government representatives, effectively legitimizing the brutal suppression of their own people.
