SOTU

I didn't watch it last night. I never do. Those speeches bore me to death. I don't watch the conventions either. I prefer speeches when they are followed by actions of some sort. The SOTU just doesn't do it for me.
I'll admit, I read the transcript and I liked the part about Iran. We need to work with the dissident, democracy groups over there. A military solution is less desirable than their own people taking to the streets and demanding a change. I know many Iranians (they actually always preferred to be called Persians, the ones I met, that is) and they wanted nothing to do with their leader and his ilk. Let's hope the US keeps up the pressure and puts our money where our mouth is.
