esquire.com — As a million more protestors march on Tehran today, the days of Ayatollah "Falwell" Khamenei and President "Gingrich" Ahmadinejad are numbered. And that means Obama should keep talking to Twitter more than trying to manipulate the Middle East's dynamics, argues a leading foreign-policy expert. These guys could still go nuclear, after all.

I'm no fan of Falwell or Gingrich or any of their ilk, but was the GOP comparison really necessary for this article? Some of them might have fantasies of a theocracy, but not to the extent or the flavour of Iran's - there's no comparison...

It should not be up for consideration at all, let the country work out this rough political time and when it is obvious that a winner has emerged try to continue politics with the winer.

Wow, some people will really grab at anything to advance their own selfish political agenda. This is not a valid comparison. It's pathetic.

Not to worry. President Hussein will find a way to not interefere with his Tehran soulmates.

Funny, the right in the US wants other countries to go left?
