Reason No. 2,978 That I’m Thankful Obama is Our President and Not John McCain
Via Think Progress:
Are we all Iranians today, John?
By contrast the Obama administration has refrained from jumping in, taking sides and immediately calling for sanctions for many very good reasons. A good discussion of that here in The Washington Independent.
The response of the Iranians themselves to the election results, being denounced as fraudulent, are apparently having an effect on their government as well. Ayatolla Ali Khamenei, the guy who calls the real shots over there, is now calling for an investigation into the election results. Who knows what will come of that, but interjecting our presence, as McCain would like to do, would just polarize the government there and turn the situation into an “Iran v. U.S.” thing. The Iranian people may not be able to take their country back this time but they are making the government sit up and take notice.
Oh, and guess who else wants Obama to stand up and rattle the sabers loudly? Let us hear it in comments, folks!
UPDATE: Thankfully Wonkette is all over this too.
