Why the right is wrong on Iran

Since the disupted Iran election results came forth a week ago, President Obama has managed to condemn the violence while walking the thin line between the two sides who are wrestling for control of the country. Many conservatives have criticized the president for not coming down harder on the current Iranian regime, but such action would be counterproductive.

If Obama came forward on the side of the opposition, they would lose a lot of credibility with their own people, since they would be seen as a pawn of America (like the Shah). We need to let the Iranians sort this out for themselves, and reach out to whomever comes up on top. This is the right strategic move.
