I have made a point of complimenting Obama whenever he does something that I think is a good decision.
In this case, I think his "holding back" policy on Iran may be the right thing to do. He is taking heat for it. The Republicans want more rhetoric, and in some cases more action.
However, Ahmadinejihad is already pointing fingers at U.S. for interference causing unrest in the country. The rest of the world sees that he is just blowing. However, if we would actually try to cause unrest in Iran, it would not sit well with the rest of the Middle East, and very likely could backfire.
Of course, there is a risk that the populace could overthrow the government and then look at Obama as the guy who sat on the sidelines and didn't lift a finger to help. I guess that's a risk we'll have to take at this point.
