You’re right, Badtux. Mousavi is not what the DC clowns think. He is less obnoxious than Ahmadinejad, but he was the prime minister during the Iran-Iraq War when Iraq was financed by the US, so he isn’t our BFF. He would probably improve life for the Iranians and cut down on the harassment over the dress code and having pets, but he definitely wouldn’t align Iran with the West, or cave in on Iranian interests. An improvement yes, but a true-believer in the revolution.
The people in the streets want their rights under their constitution recognized.
]]>On 15 June Ahmadinejad leaves Iran for Russia, seven days later???
I hope the result is less like Tiananmen Square and more like the fall of the Iron Curtain.
.-= ´s last blog ..Keeping Twitter open – The best suport the US Government can give to Iranians at present =-.
I don’t think they understand anything about foreign policy, Jams. They are a bunch of hammers looking for nails to hit. Military force is their response to every issue.
If the world and Iran are lucky, some real reforms will come out of this, but it is too close to the twentieth anniversary of Tiananmen Square for me to be very hopeful.
