Iran Playing Obama Like a Persian Violin
The nuclear-arming, turbaned tyranny is playing the pro-appeasement Obama administration like a Persian violin.

And click here to hear and download excellent Persian violin music.
Disclosure: This American Jewish reporter, a lifelong Zionist, is a great fan of traditional and popular Persian (and Arabic and Turkish) music. Click below for a video clip of a Persian violin-tonbak duet--fantastic! Throughout the reign of His Imperial Majesty Shah Mohammed Reza Pahalavi, of blessed memory, Persian culture flourished. Of course, that was before the craven Carter administration, precursor to the Obama administration, betrayed and abandoned the Shah--a pro-American, modernizing monarch--in a cynical, stupid attempt to ride the Islamist tiger without being consumed by it.
More disclosure: A great Iranian patriot, Daryoush Homayoun, once presented this reporter with a present--a collection of traditional Persian music, in the form of long-playing, vinyl records--which he cherishes to this day. Gold Bounces Back
