    In reply to zenmasterfoo...

    This is strategically a very tricky situation. Today is not the first speech the President has made regarding the elections. The Whitehouse released a statement on Saturday regarding the deaths of protesters and human rights, the day Neda was killed. Several statements where made beforehand in support of free speech, just no outright condemnations of the current Iranian regime.

    Unfortunately Iran is not a democracy, so regarding #2 this would be direct support for regime change.

    In my opinion this recent criticism is more for Americans to feel more comfortable/uncomfortable with the Presidents foreign policy. How does this help the Iranians you support? I do wish the best for Iranians but this just makes them more of a target.
