Egypt’s state-run newspaper Al-Ahram yesterday took the “international community” to task for its cautious response to the Iranian uprising.
“Democratic outpouring?” From a newspaper wholly owned by a man who routinely uses violence against democratic outpourings in his own country and receives nearly nearly 90 percent of the vote–that’s so much better than Ahmadinejad’s measly 63 percent–when he runs for president? Hah! That’s the most shameless piece of editorializing since the ayatollacracy’s apologist-in-chief Roger Cohen had the chutzpah to complain Monday in the New York Times that “Millions of defrauded Iranians are thirsting for a little more” from the United States government than the “off-key” “air of business as usual at the White House.”
