Iran's Mullahs Are Their Own Worst Enemies



Aaron Kliegman, Washington Free Beacon: The Mullahs Are Their Own Worst Enemies

Last January, six days after anti-government protests erupted across Iran, the European Union's high representative for foreign affairs equated Iranian protesters with the regime forces arresting and killing them. "In the spirit of frankness and respect that is at the basis of our relationship," said Federica Mogherini, "we expect all concerned to refrain from violence and the right of expression to be guaranteed." Mogherini's statement was a slap in the face to the Iranian people, who were demonstrating against the regime that oppresses them so brutally.

In business CEOs often give orders without first having enough research in hand to know whether delivery is possible in the time frame he ordered, or not. Then the workers have to scramble to identify and resolve the issues, especially the cost, required to satisfy the order in the time required. That is when a good CEO, albeit one who should have had some research done before the announcement makes adjustments.

Trump was never a good CEO. He is trying to run the government from "his" failed CEO perspective. Unless his objective is to run the country into the ground he will not succeed.

Oh now MF, you're soooo mean to Mr. Bobby.

I would add losing the House and Senate, and running out of ketchup for those times when the 2009 Nobel Peace prize recipient decided to have shoe for dinner; as in "Trayvon could have been my son" and other poor ceo decisions that demonstrated an opened mouth with no prior forethought.

Michael

You are dreaming, but don't stop at Trump vs Obama the latter of which I think was nothing more than a political hack, especially when he ran for re-election knowing he could accomplish nothing. (I should mention I am not a democrat nor a republican). I suggest you go back and include a few more ex presidents. You know to be fair to the most recent ones because Trump and Obama are really not the worst.
