@Corvo2..well it just seems to me, in skimmnig the news that the world's governments officially, U.S. included, are all saying "This is an internal Iranian problem, and while we are gravely concerned at any irregularities and any human rights abuses, we have nothing to say about the legitimacy of the election." Meanwhile through the use of the internet and social media coming out of Iran, and in discussion about it around the world, pressure is being brought to bear by consensus of global opinion more than anything else...at least that's what I"m going with at the moment. Furthermore, I think any government (looking at U.S. and Western Europe primarily) is staying as far as possible away from trying to add some sort of international legitimacy to the protestors to keep the Iranian powers that be from calling "foul" because of international interference. Very interesting shit.
- Exactly. Diplomatically speaking, there is no indication the election wasn't fair.Corvo2
- And countries cannot act under media op. It's just not how things work and it would screw everything up if they did.Corvo2
- Still, it's very interesting as you say - but I'm not sure it will have any impact in real politics.Corvo2
- It may curb Iranian powers a bit, nonetheless. After all, they'll have to face it sooner or later.Corvo2
