As I Dine on My Own Words...

It takes great courage to stand up and be counted, especially against such a tyrant as Ahmadinejad. The young people of Iran are to be commended for their strength and determination and I suppose once again, I must eat my own words! I've doing that alot lately -- eating my own words. They don't taste well these days, especially when spoken with such anger. It's not like I've just become angry about him -- I mean, it's only been 26 years and still counting. So when I stated that Iran should have been blown off the face of the earth 26 years ago, well -- I'd like to apologize to the people of Iran for my comments. Your leader is evil and many of those who follow him are evil but to those of you who recognize him as an evil man and one who should be overthrown, I commend you. You have much work to do for yourselves, your people and your country.

Peace around the world is possible and your efforts in rising up against your leaders will move our world one step closer to such a reality. As I dine on my own "words" I will remember you in my prayers as you show the world your courage to defend your right to a true democracy --it takes great courage to stand up and be counted. Somehow in your show of strength and courage to rebel against your leaders, you have removed the very sword from my own "heart."
