I met many Iranian (refugees): incredible intelligent people.
You don’t understand that in Iran also live people with Zorastearian and Ba’hai faith…

But they need the world badly, only already for their oil revenues! China also let us believe they can do what they want, but they have a huge internal market. But in the end, reason will survive. History has troven that over and over again. Obama plays a cautious role, a smart one. No one dares now to blame that nice black guy in the USA for the wrong doings in the world. Regarding Iran, its shows again that religion and politics cannot, might not, ever be blended. That was Bush terrible mistake. Greetings from Constantinople.)

Although there appears to be conflicting information about the true nature of the support for Ahmadinejad I think the protests there indicate the election results were rigged. As to the Obama administration trying to be "optimistic" regarding the possibility for fairness in the Iranian presidential election I think in light of the realities there saying nothing would have been better to painting a best case scenario regarding the chance for change there. The problem is, "the whole world" watching doesn't mean much to the mullahs in Iran. It does not matter what the "world" thinks or the U.N. because the mullahs know if they allow true reform they will unleash forces that will leave their country transformed. China has taken the same approach. While Obama is in a difficult position I still think that statements and articles leading up to the Iranian presidential elections were not realisitic in their analysis and there is really no excuse for this. Even if Obama or Clinton couldn't say it, they could have gotten the message out beforehand through underlings in their administration. Thanks for your comment.
