If the incumbent holds on, some Iran experts suggested this morning, the post-election repression may actually make it more difficult for Obama to pursue a straightforward "engagement" with a discredited Ahmadinejad in the short term -- though it obviously reflects a deep dissatisfaction with the regime.
The number of people that seem to forget, including journalist who get paid for a living to cover stuff like this, that the President of Iran is nothing more than a figurehead amazes me.
Obama won't be dealing with Ahmadinejad or whoever ends up winning the election.
A bit off topic, but it would be nice if Martin would mention which 'experts' suggested this this morning so people can ignore them in the future.
