I’m so glad the Obama admin is rescinding the July 4th invitation to Iranian diplomats that I’ll even overlook the fact that they were originally going to let the invite stand:

The Obama administration has decided to rescind invitations to Iranian diplomats for July Fourth celebrations overseas due to violent crackdowns against protesters in Iran, the White House said Wednesday.

“July Fourth allows us to celebrate the freedom and the liberty we enjoy: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to assemble peacefully, freedom of the press,” White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters. “Given the events of the past many days, those invitations will no longer be extended.”
