Republicans have criticized President Barack Obama for what they claim is a lack of involvement in the Iran elections. They say he is soft and not acting properly. What would they have the president of the United States do? These same Republicans stammer and stumble when asked what they want to happen. They do not have an answer, but they continue to criticize.

It is time for the conservatives and Republicans to step back and let Iranians work out their own problems concerning their election and the aftermath resulting from actions by the Iranian government. It is really none of our business. Sure, the president can and has been critical of the actions of the present Iranian government, but the Iranians need to resolve these issues themselves.

Do the Republicans want us to have an armed conflict with Iran? No. What they really want is to be critical of Obama without having answers on how to better address this issue. This nation needs to stop this needless bickering and finger-pointing and join together to resolve our own problems. We have plenty of our own issues and need to do the right thing and mind our own business.
