It is as the Ayatollah says it is, duh!

As usual, this letter to the editor requires no introduction:

Editor,

That the Boston Globe Editorial Board (notable for its lack of diversity, by the way), masters of demagoguery and misrepresentation in its own right ("mission impossible", "torture", "CIA leak", etc.) deluded itself into thinking the mullahs of Iran would acknowledge President Obama didn't meddle in Iran's recently-held corrupt elections does at least help highlight the woeful naïveté of the Obama-Biden administration (How not to help the Iranians, editorial, June 19).

President Obama has a "shrewd grasp" of the situation in Iran? You were joking, right?

A day after repeating its indifference in Iran's corrupt elections, leaving pro-democracy demonstrators without the support of the "leader of the free world", all the major news outlets are now reporting that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is accusing the Obama-Biden administration of interferring with Iran's politics. I'm shocked!

I understand how the Obama-adoring Editorial Board could be disappointed the mullahs are less impressed with President Obama as it is but I am terrified that the Obama-Biden administration and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's State Department could think their silence in supporting Iranian democracy would somehow keep America safe from "the traps set by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his coterie of thuggish hard-liners". (End of letter to the editor).
