It's mostly annoying because I know that if we were only friendlier towards Iran, we'd get a better response out of them. C'mon, America. The House of Saud doesn't even PRETEND to be a Democracy. At least Iran has different political parties which switch off on being elected President, and newspapers, and women that go to school and hold jobs. At least Iran HAS dissidents.
I'm really hoping that a vote for Obama means a lacuna period in which United States foreign policy isn't completely dictated by 'our man in x, right or wrong'.
