How To Explain Iran
The situation in Iran remains unstable and conflicted. The recent election and the unrest that followed it has been a source of division amongst Western intellectuals. Some commentators instinctively side with the protestors on the street, while others are concerned about the sovereignty of a foreign government to which the West is hostile. It’s all very complicated, which is why I welcome the input of our Shiraz Socialist commenter, Comrade Resistor, who has contributed a sophisticated pictorial analysis of the situation in Iran.

Following Ayatollah Khamenei’s considered comments, I’m highly disappointed to see no agents from Perfidious Albion present:

Wow, Max ‘dumber and dumber’ Dunbar posts again on Iran.
Dunbar who thought that Ahmedinejad was an Arab!
That’s what I call a middle-east expert.

It wasn’t my comment, as you know.
Do you want to explain why you keep deleting my posts?

Okay. Have seen your point in the Kennedy thread now.
I haven’t deleted any comments, though
