Khamenei calls elections a victory for Iran

I'm still not sure why it's of much import to us. You don't make policy decisions based on what foreigners think.

Yeah, propaganda is everywhere in the Middle East, along with conspiracy theories, etc. I also know that their can opinions change rapidly. Trying to gauge what to do based on what is coming out of the madrassas is way too reactionary for my tastes.

Is it interesting... sure -- does it have much bearing on how we should conduct ourselves? I'm not so sure.
