If you seriously think that "Death to America" Iran is capable of honest elections when ruled by a thugocracy, you are in pretty bad shape.
Interesting that you could think it through about Khadaffi.

Apparently in your eyes Iran is no longer crazy and not on the list of bad guys, all over an election that has a hard liner in office.
Why are you thinking of Iran through Carter's eyes?
Khadaffi, unlike Saddam, was responsible for terrorists acts that killed Americans. But because Khadaffi is now willing to play ball with our internationist elite, he's now on the good list.
Regarding democracy in Iran, we don't have any basis to complain after what we pulled in 1953. Go on living in your dream world.
