Something really caught me today while reading your blog — this clip from the Iranian protests.
All of our media coverage today seems to be focused on spinning election results from last night, and what they mean for our “big two” political parties. Doesn’t anyone else see the deeper meaning of what last year meant? You don’t need to look any further than how Iran was united against the U.S. during the Bush administration, to now a splinter revolution taking place that is drawing a line in the sand against its government. I don’t mean to imply that Obama waved some magic wand here; all of the credit goes to Iranians willing to stand up to the thugs patrolling their streets.
But would it be happening this way if the Middle East still viewed the United States the way it did during the Bush years?
