Speaking truth to power

The mullahs of Iran are singling out Britain as the agent working against them in the current election turmoil.

And, you know, I hope they're right.

Instead of The One's revolting pussyfooting in a singlular attempt to fawn over whoever comes out on top of this power struggle, we should nail our colours to the mast and declare that we stand four square for democracy for the Iranians, point out that the Coalition has over 200,000 men on Iran's doorsteps, and to Hell with whomever says nay.

Damned by the mullahs? I call that a compliment.

When I first heard of this I thought (being the old cynic I am) that at the most it was an internal, inter-mullah disagreement that escaped outdoors---add a couple of rented mobs and off ya go---but this thing isn't going away. If this Moussaka fellow was OK'd by all the mullahs before the "election", well, Gorbachov also had the Party's approval, but he lost control of things. And anyway, this thing is going to end in execution for the losing party, so now he must literally overthrow the government or die. The crowds are not hiding their faces, which means that it's life or death for them as well.

We (US) are missing an opportunity. At least, Moussaka was in politics to begin with, people had the choice of staying home---not a word of praise for their courage? I'd say, in this case, Brits win.
