Roy, it’s also maddening that Obama seems to believe that any statement stiffer than oatmeal amounts to “meddling” in Iranian elections.
Why not say something like this: “If Ahmadinejad has really made progress since the last election and if
he really represents two thirds of the electorate … why has this
violence erupted?”
That’s French President Nikolas Sarkozy. Who woulda thunk it: The French taking a tougher line against government thuggery than the United States.
