Apparently you’re incapable of opposing war on Iran, or even Bush- style regime change, and at the same time acknowledging that the Iranian state is run by authoritarian mullahs.
Doug,
I do not believe this “fair and balanced” business is a capability… I think its a weakness. YMMV.
I’m really mystified by this. Because Bush & Co. don’t like the
Iranian government, we have to get on the net and pump up the
president’s ineffectual populism and deny that there’s a lot of
repression of feminists, sexual minorities, labor organizers, and
dissidents? Just dispense with intellectual honesty in the name of
influencing a policy we have little influence over?
