Apart from what fpessanha said - which I totally agree with - I seem to remember a historic scientist commenting on the second Iraq intervention that "its impossible to influence a muslim society from outside".
There is no such example in history and will never be.

The Iran needs a separation between church and government, but thats up to them to work on it.

I think the president should stay away from iran as long as posible...

I wonder what the people who say he should do something about it would have said if Russia or China (just to mention 2 super powers) would intervene in the 2002 election in favor Al Gore...

I guess its a good thing our government wasn't killing the dems in the streets then huh? nor was there rioting in the streets over it.
By the way, it was the 2000 elections

Wife: "oh look honey, that man over there is hitting that lady. she's bleeding all over the place!"

Husband: "Turn away dear and pretend you didn't see anything. We have enough problems."

I am a firm believer in letting people get on with it.

International involvement in anything, charity, 'development', military action - what ever - seems to be akin to putting Petrol in your Diesel car. It makes a lot of noise, you don't really move anything forward and then it blows up.

I don't really think the US needs to make a statement of where it stands on 'freedom' again, either.
