IRANIANS IN THE STREETS - AT 7:02 P.M. ET:  This has been a day of major anti-government demonstrations in Iran.  Notice, please, the intense interest (yawn) on the part of the Obama administration, where the term "human rights" has about as much appeal as "Sarah Palin." 

Planet Iran, guided by our friend, Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi, has been live-blogging the action here.  Remarkably, many of the demonstrators are chanting, "Obama, Obama, are you with us or with them," meaning the hated regime.  Again, no answer from the White House.  Must be planning the next party, or campaign trip.

This comes on the same day when Israel intercepted a huge Iranian arms shipment to Syria and Syria's chorus boys, Hezbollah.  It comes two days after Iran's supreme leader openly insulted America and its president.

Fox News is now running a segment called "Turmoil in Iran."  This is a time for intense pressure on a regime that defies international rules and is despised by its own people.  The president shows, as usual, no sense of urgency.
