Never said he had the right just saying that if this is a struggle for democracy, then there might be calls for just moving troops over the border from Iraq and into Iran. I think this would be a bad idea but that doesn't mean someone won't convince Obama it's neccessary, let's hope Hillary will keep this from happening.

I should hope so too. The US, and the west in general, has militarily overextended itself unnecessarily far too much at the moment.

America has.  The U.K. hasn't.

Granted, I doubt the U.K. would be interested.

I'm not talking about in a capability sense, I'm talking about in a a neo-imperial sense.

Well, as you've probably noticed, I'm not exactly as isolationist as I used to be, but this is because, if we don't intervene, someone else typically does (like China in Sudan).

With the way the global economy currently is (and the rapidly deteriorating situation in Pakistan), I'm not exactly eager for us to mess with Iran, but funding an insurgency there might not be a bad idea.

China will fall on it's own sword, don't you worry about that. They're making the exact same mistakes that the west has been making for quite some time.

yes but they can always fall back on simply exploiting their enormous population, they don't have to worry about little things like democracy.

Eh...  an uncomfortable truth indeed...  I guess we could set up an arrangement like the one we have with Israel.  We could get China to do our dirty work for us.

They certainly don't seem to care much about reputation.

Dinnerjackets support were mostly rural people and poor people. But the high turnout means that it wasn't just those people, so like more people voted than the population of those two groups.

The guy definitely fixed it, especially as all protests against his win have resulted in beatings, the internet is down, phones are down, texts are down. Methinks this guy is going to completely cut off Iran and never give up his Presidency, like Mugabe.
