Surviving a rigged election.

Sounds like there's political turmoil in Iran. And I see that some conservatives in America want our government to choose up sides. But I'm with Barack Obama on this one. Just let it play out. And leave the Iranians straighten things out on their own. It's their business. Their politics. Not our business. Not our politics. I have no idea whether the recent election in Iran was or wasn't legitimate. That's for the Iranians to decide. Of course, I'd like to cultivate good relations with Iran. No matter who's in power. It's called mutual respect. Doesn't surprise me that politicians in Iran are feuding with each other. Accusing each other of dirty tricks. Even rigging elections. And that's what we have in common with each other. Look at America. We've got Democrats and Republicans disrespecting each other. As if they were mortal enemies. And there's still a question of whether our 2000 presidential election was rigged. Anyway, we've survived that. And the Iranians can survive a rigged election, too. --Jim Broede
