re: #4 coquimbojoe

It would be nice if Obama would pull a Reagan and come out clearly for the people and against the government as Reagan did with the Poles and Solidarity.

It would also be nice if the Iranians had a Lech Walesa or even a Gorbachev to support. But it looks like business as usual in that part of the world, a choice among several evils.

It’s heartening that the Iranians are passionate about their votes being counted, though. In fact I bet they’re more passionate about that than they are about Mousavi.
