You've got to start from basic facts at some point, and the fact on the
table is that Iran is a target of Western imperialism.  The media
articles railing against Ahmadinejad (and they have been doing so since
his election) are not objective reports of a man, having been elected
in a system that is far from democratic, making gestures of bravado.
There is a definite *agenda* to their publication, and that is the
vilification of Iran so as to make a brutal attack by imperialism on
the nation more palatable.  It has been ongoing and systematic in
reports on Iran in the previous months, and needs to be opposed.

Say what you will about Ahmadinejad and the clerics; I'm with you.
Iran will not be liberated under capitalism.  But remember - the
alternative at this point is not a workers' revolution in Iran, but the
brutal subjugation of the country by imperialism.  This has got to be
fought, even if it means that the existence of the clerical regime has
to be tolerated for the time being.
