The Prophet should be calling Iran's Mullah state what it is – 'an evil empire' imposing fundamentalist Islamic fascism on a population which wants modernity, not Jew hate and anti-Americanism. The Iranian election was a fraud, a farce, a Stalinist leger-demain and Hitlerian staged coup. Soft-power apology tours won't free Iran from a fascist theocracy. Force, the threat of war, moral clarity and funding Iranian democracy groups and supporting them, will. The collapse of the fascist Russian empire is an obvious testimony to that reality.

Instead of standing up for Iranian democracy and showing that America's world leadership was still intact, the Prophet was in Chicago droning on about another $1 Trillion expansion of government – this time in health-care socialisation.

Instead of denouncing the despot Ahmadinejad, and his falsified elections, the Prophet was busy contorting more lies suggesting that socialising US health care and spending $1 Trillion, will pay for itself.

Instead of demanding that the Iranian regime reform itself and respect the virtue of human rights and human worth; the Prophet was busy meandering through the details of rationed and government controlled health care – and trying to justify it.

The Prophet is absent from what could be considered a revolution in Iranian affairs. It is clear that a significant minority of Iranians do not want the government of Ahmadinejad, nor the Mullah-ocracy headed by Khomenei, who ostensibly runs the country and is the President's boss. They need moral support, financial support, and unequivocal rights support.

The quickest and cheapest way to rid the world of the Mullah menace in Iran is to have domestic groups, buttressed by international supporters, effect a populist coup. This must be the sought after goal of any US administration. Short of an exogenous shock through war, the only way that Iran can join the comity of nations and start to develop a normalised country, is through a quiet revolution.

To this end, the Prophet's apology tour of last week, in which he praised the 'glories' of Islam is the opposite of what needs to be done. Moral equivalency will not aid the Iranian people in their struggle to develop a nascent modern state premised on free-will and individual rights. Instead of spending millions of dollars forcing Americans to adapt to Islam, the Prophet and his friends need to be spending tens of millions in Iran, forcing the Mullah state to conform to the course of freedom and democratic reform.

The Prophet should be unequivocal in his admiration for Iranian democracy and the US' intolerance of Islamic theocratic fascism distorting the lives of Persians. It is a historic opportunity – a Reaganesque moment is available to be seized with all the domestic and international benefits that would confer. But as one would expect, the 'great man' was too busy with the details of destroying 18 % of US GDP to much care about Iran and its formative steps towards normalcy. Hopeless and un-Changing.
