Bobbie at PolitX has a good article on why we shouldn't be letting the right hijack the issue of Iran:

This is not a party political issue. This is not a game. These people are not pawns in an argument over 'whose world view is better'.

But, I'm sure it won't be long before (it's probably happened already, I just haven't seen it) before someone starts saying 'you're just objectively pro-Ayatollah' or some such insult. Like I said at PolitX, I'm dully in favour of Iran of having a secular democratic government, one where the leadership of the country doesn't have to call on the blessings of some invisible friend in the sky to justify itself and its policies. But then, I'd like to see that in every country...
