Ok, let’s look at it a different way. Let’s say you are America and you want to encourage the Iranians to have another election because you think the results are corrupt. Considering that power rests solely in the hands of the mullah ruling class, do you think a resolution passed by the US House of Representatives will further or hinder that cause?

We “encouraged” the Iranians through this method to make a revolution for eight years and it did work. Here’s a strange concept. Stay out of the way and the let Iranians make their own revolution (as we did ours) and the Latin Americans made their eyes. Revolutions usually misfire when “encouraged” by self-righteous super powers.

The Mullah's are eventually going to lose this fight. It may not be this time, but it will certainly be the next. Do you want to be on the winning side, or the losing side?

If we stand with the young and the professionals, they'll remember that when they're in power. Just like the Islamic fundamentalists remembered that we stood (at least for a little while) with the Shah. Look how that turned out.
