OpinionJournal on Iran:Foggy Bottom spokesman Richard Boucher said Monday that the U.S. is "concerned about the use of violence against the demonstrators" and that "it's time for the voices of the Iranian people to be listened to and heard."This, they note, is a change from State:State and its allies have supported dialogue, hoping to pry the reformist president Mohammad Khatami into a deal that would give up nukes and moderate Iran's anti-American foreign policy. But Khatami has been around since 1997, and the Clinton Administration failed utterly in its attempt at engagement. Khatami's credibility has suffered enough inside Iran that the protesters in Tehran's streets are now demanding his resignation.Now might be a good time for President Khatami to demonstrate, if he's serious, which side of history he intends to be on. |
