Why Obama Should Leave Iran's 'Red-State' Regime Alone

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.

  • avataros, on 06/18/2009, -0/+15I'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...
  • jdh24, on 06/19/2009, -1/+15Really, Esquire? What do Falwell and Gingrich have to do with Iran, besides snide attempts to compare the incomparable? Last I checked, the left and right in the US were all on the side of Mousavi and against Ahmadinejad and, to a lesser degree, Khamenei. Great job trying to ***** up some semblance of political solidarity with a foreign group that could really use it at this point. Buried, *****.
  • brbeaird, on 06/19/2009, -2/+6Wow, some people will really grab at anything to advance their own selfish political agenda. This is not a valid comparison. It's pathetic.
  • inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2It 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.
  • Niocan, on 06/19/2009, -1/+3My propaganda BS meter just blew up...
    "These guys could still get the same privileges for nuclear power plants, after all" *Fixed, jackass.
  • inactive, on 06/19/2009, -1/+3Holy crap - that was a reach. And I thought this guy was being a dick about Iran.

  • undervalued, on 06/20/2009, -0/+1You could always use the slippery slope argument.....
  • undervalued, on 06/20/2009, -0/+1Funny, the right in the US wants other countries to go left?
  • rchargel, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Troll much?
  • mattnyc99, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1after khamenei's speech today, i have to agree with this guy
  • inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Not to worry. President Hussein will find a way to not interefere with his Tehran soulmates.
  • SoulGrub, on 06/19/2009, -3/+2Not all right wingers are on the side of Mousavi.

    They're rooting for Ahmadinejad, arguing that both sides are evil and Ahmadinejad is the devil-you-know.
