For people here to get their knickers all twisted over events in Iran is pretty near as ignorant as it gets. No matter who is elected the REAL leader remains Khamenei and the lesser ayatollahs. period! Nothing is done or changed without consent from him. No difference from the past eight years here, if Cheney&Co. didn't okay it, it wasn't going to happen, and if they wanted something it happened irrespective of Bush or anyone else. And don't go yapping on about well this other guy is a mederate and all that crap, as long as the country is ruled by the ayatollahs there is NO, ZIP, NADA moderate anywhere of consequence.
