| What Can Obama Say About Iran? »
June 16, 2009
Iran Round UpWell, as much of a round up as I can muster with such fast moving events. The Guardian Council has ordered a partial recount of the vote. The unusual step by the council, several members of which had supported President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's bid for re-election, was quickly rejected as insufficient by the opposition.
The new restrictions on foreign media require journalists to obtain explicit permission before leaving the office to cover any story. The idiot mullahs think the MSM is still the main source of information. Authoriterian regimes are always the last to understand the threats they are facing. Just as fax machines played a major role in the fall of the Soviet Union, it's Twitter, Facebook and Flickr that are the information threats to the mullahs, not ABC or the BBC. The Iranians are trying to crackdown on these new media but it's a lot harder than locking down a handful of western reporters. Via Michael Goldfarb's Twitter, Ahmadinejad is feeling pretty cocky, he took off for a trip to Russia. And finally, John Bolton rightfully throws a bit of cold water on all the unfounded hopes placed on Mousavi. The media’s endlessly incorrect narrative about struggles between “moderates” and “hard-liners” within the Islamic Revolution of 1979 will doubtless continue, because abandoning it now would be admitting the intellectual poverty of three decades of Western reporting. It would have been easier if outsiders had from the outset understood the debate between the regime’s moderates and hard-liners this way: Hard-liners like Ahmadinejad want to continue Iran’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and boast about “wiping Israel off the map.” By contrast, the moderates want to continue Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs but remain silent, thus more effectively deluding many willing Westerners. As always with the 'Stache of Justice, read the whole thing. | Recent Comments
