Cantor, Pence, McCain, Kagan Feed Iran Propaganda Machine Posted by Adam Blickstein

No, seriously, you guys care more about the welfare of the Iranian people than your own egos and the Republican party, right?

Iran accused the United States on Wednesday of "intolerable" meddling in its internal affairs, alleging for the first time that Washington has fueled a bitter postelection dispute. Opposition supporters marched in huge numbers through Tehran's streets for a third straight day to protest the outcome of the balloting.

The Iranian government summoned the Swiss ambassador, who represents U.S. interests in Iran, to complain about American interference, state-run Press TV reported.

The English-language channel said the government called Western interference "intolerable."

A State Department spokesman said the U.S. was withholding judgment about the election and not interfering in Iranian internal affairs.

Well, the President and most members of Congress are doing the responsible thing, and you know, listening to what experts, the Iranian people and Pat Buchanan think and not meddling with the delicate situation in Iran. As for Cantor, Pence, McCain, Kagan, Pletka, well, they are not as much into democracy promotion as they are into neocon promotion. Which means, promoting failed policies and failed ideology. I guess since they worked hard to destroy Iraq, in their estimation they might as well now try to march east on their path of destruction. But in this instance they are siding with an oppressive regime rather than demanding its downfall. Odd how that works.

[Cross-posted from TPM Cafe:]

In Iran, there is appears to be a broad-based protest movement, aimed primarily at getting the government to set aside fraudulent elections results and either declare Mousavi the legitimate winner or hold a re-vote.

In the United States, there is talk from some quarters of a "Green Revolution", pushed along by long-time regime changers who apparently want to topple the Iranian state, and are exploiting the crisis as an opportunity to catalyze more sweeping and cataclysmic change than most Iranians probably have in mind.

Who can say what the neocons are up to now? But they may be hoping they can goad and taunt Obama into intervening more assertively, something that they anticipate will then spark a more violent xenophobic crackdown in Iran, and light the fuse of a true revolution, and even perhaps create conditions that dangerously dangerously spiral out of control and raise calls for foreign military intervention.

What bugs the neocons to no end are demonstrations to the world that the Iranian state is not wholly "evil", but contains civilized and self-correcting republican structures that might succeed in resolving the crisis peacefully while strengthening Iran's imperfect democratic traditions, and which ultimately improves Iran's position and reputation in the Middle East. That Iranians might find a way of promoting a model to the Middle East of moderate Islamic republican government by peacefully resolving their crisis within the legitimate structures of the Islamic Republic is a vision of hell for neocons. They're hoping for more blood, chaos and more creative destruction.

Trita Parsi, who was on the Tuesday night Rachel Maddow Show, stated the neo-conservatives are being very arrogant in not asking what the Iranian NGOs think about the United States publically endorsing the moderates and liberals against the hardliners. Also from the Pletka article it would appear that she hopes that the Iranian liberals fail in their bid to change the government because it would still give the neo-conservativers an enemy in the Middle East and this point was made by Andrew Sullivan on his blog. On a related note if the Iranians were to create a more liberal government this would deflate the Israeli lobby's power in that Iran would become a potential ally for the United States in the Middle East. Trita Parsi best decribes this Israeli fear about Iran being the main US ally in the region in his book "Treacherous Alliance," which details Israeli-Iranian relations.

Forty years ago, Don ED hardy
blew off a Yale fine-art fellowship to pursue the rogue art of tattoo, a timeless and often taboo tradition that captivated him as a boy in the Orange County beach town of Corona del Mar. By 10 he was drawing cars and eagles on kids' backs and arms with wet colored pencils and Maybelline eyeliner. After that he begun to design the Ed hardy picture

At the San Francisco Art Institute in the early '60s, Hardy mastered the demanding art of intaglio etching under the tutelage of the late Gordon Cook, a no-jive blue-collar guy who instilled in Hardy a love of craft, Asian art and the quiet power of Giorgio Morandi's little still life pictures. Which like love kills slowly
But it worked out well for the plucky Hardy boy, who blurred the supposed boundary between "high" and "low" art and carved a path through the worlds of art and commerce. He has drawn images on torsos
, canvases and giant scrolls with equal conviction and aplomb.
