Thread Name: BS: Election in Iran
Subject: RE: BS: Election in Iran
This ain't Hungary, Eb... It's a siutaion where there are alot of folks who are liberal or moderate and even more who aren't... I don't see Russia or any other power coming in and comitting genocide... This will blow over in some regards and Iran's power base will have to make some consessions to get that to happen...
If it does become genocide then Khomeine has one heck of alot of folks in the world watching... That is why I think that it won't get out of hand...
But if it does, its gonna be one heck of a mess to clean up...
Right now, Obama is doing the only thing he can do... Congress, of course, will do the woff-woff... That is fine... It sends one message and Obama is sending another and that other message is that he realizes, as a pragmatist, that invading Iran ain't all that smart...
