Smart Diplomacy
Political Punch: Obama says there’s not much difference between Ahmadinejad’s policies and Mousavi’s.
So the insurrection just happens to prefer Mousavi because…his beard looks better on him? Or what?
Since the mullahs are the ones who really run things in Iran, Obama is not far from the truth. And some of the evidence seems to bear his position out.
But given that Iranians are literally dying (or more precisely, getting killed) to see Mousavi assume the Iranian presidency, that seems like the wrong thing to say right now.
