If people are stupid enough to believe that equals US involvement, they probably already believe that the CIA is exercising mind control on a bunch of Iranians to destabilize the region.

Not only that, how is staying silent any different than giving into terrorism.
The extremists, terrorists, and totalitarians tell you they will twist any message you send, so you just dont send it? How is that any different than staying in your home because terrorists have told you they are going to bomb the subway or the market?
Well here is an idea. If the audience wants to see your message as coming from the great satan they are probably going to do that anyway. Is your message of freedom really aimed at those people? Or is it aimed at the people fighting against religious police and soldiers who have threatened to execute them on site.
In short, what I am trying to say is that I don't see anyone actually interested in freedom ever buying into what the Ayatollah tells them about a speech Obama makes. If they are, then they're probably not ready for the concept of freedom anyway.
