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):
