Just wondering how Republicans, who are now clamoring for Obama to speak forcefully in favor of the the Mousavi’s supporters, would have felt in 2000 if Iranians were criticizing them, suggesting they were stealing the election and voicing strong support for the Democrats. Do you think the GOPer might have said, “It’s none of your damn business”? Or maybe, “How dare you criticize the greatest democracy in the world!”
No, Republicans always feel they can criticize other countries but take affront when other countries criticize us.
