Despite clear evidence that the recently-held Iranian election was a fraud and the government has been beating, murdering and/or imprisoning anyone in the country saying otherwise.

Why?  Because “the political situation in Iran is for the Iranians to work out internally.”

The problem with that statement is that the Obama administration admittedly tried to intervene to stop the coup in Honduras from happening, and is now calling that coup illegal.

So in Iran, where the current regime rigged an election and then used violence and murder to put down the protests of it, the (potentially nuclear) situation is to be left to the Iranians but in Honduras a coup that was supported the country’s legislature, courts and military is suddenly reason for Obama to intervene?  Mostly, by his own admission, to make it clearto Hugo Chavez and his cronies that America wasn’t involved in the coup (even though we got the blame anyway)?

Where are Obama’s priorities?  In Honduras Obama decries the removal of a leftist thug (who is currently enjoying the loving care and attention of Chavez and Fidel’s brother Raul Castro) and in Iran he refuses to get tough with an Iranian regime that just fixed an election and put down the resulting protests with violence and murder.

Say what you want about Bush’s “cowboy diplomacy,” but when he said we’d support the aspirations of all free people he meant it.
