Time To Act
Hans van Baalen, Leader of VVD Delegation in EP | January 6, 2009
The wait and see attitude of Europe and the US towards the Iranian revolt is morally unacceptable. ++ Ashton has yet to make a statement and Obama only last week called on the Iranian leadership to stop violating human rights. ++ Ashton's lack of action based on a fear for harming business interests and Obama's unsuccessful policy of engagement need to be reconsidered at this crucial phase of the Iranian insurgency. ++ They must show their support for the Iranian protesters and make their choice for a free Iran unequivocally known.
