Trouble in Tehran


While N. Korea is pursuing it plutonium program, the other Nuke Wannabee is having some "domestic issues." Seems like not everyone's happy with Ahmadinejad's re-election. (Photo of above of street fighting in Tehran from AFP).

Prior to the outbreak of violence, Obama & Hillary expressed "excitement" over Iran's "democratic process":

This story generated this on-line exchange:

It is disturbing to watch Obama and Hilary talk about how wonderful iranian democracy is...

To which Comrade Karla responded:

I wonder if they're "excited" about rioting in the streets after nutjob claimed a landslide victory? Like Jimmy Carter, I don't think they really care as long as there's a figleaf of "democratic process" for them to ooh and aah over, regardless of how much of a sham it is.


Speaking of said rioting...

So Obama & Hillary may not be all that excited after all. (Most of us who've studied the histories of dictatorships could have told them to hold back on the excitement):
