[the Real fifi]

Whether we say anything or not--do anything or not--the mullahs we"ll claim we are behind it. I agree with AFred, let those poor people know we know their plight and care about them.

But we must be careful not to create the impression that our military will run in to the rescue---unless we are really prepared to do that, and I do not think we are.

I agree - unless we're willing to go in with military force (and I don't think we are there yet either), then the administration needs to be careful with their public statements. Therein lies the conundrum - support without too much support which could endanger protestor's lives.
