Wow this blog has gone down hill – turned into a giant echo chamber. Does not one person here realize that for Obama to come out swinging in support of the Iranian opposition allows Ahmadinejad to immediately reframe the issue from one of him stealing votes to him standing up to yet more American meddling in Iran? Hate to break it to you people but most people in most countries, certainly in the Middle East, don’t care for America, don’t want America meddling in their affairs and want to be left alone to solve their own problems without a whole bunch of useless speechifying from hypocritical American leaders.
