Raimondo Contra Roberts on the Iranian Election

A few days ago, Paul Craig Roberts' questioning of the "idealistic belief in the purity of Mousavi, Montazeri, and the westernized youth of Tehran" — Are the Iranian Protests Another US Orchestrated "Color Revolution?" — was linked to on this blog; "No way, no how," says Justin Raimomdo — Iran’s Green Revolution: Made in America?.

That said, he wisely notes that "U.S. intervention will not aid but only hold back the legitimate aspirations of the oppressed" and "applaud[s] Ron Paul for his lone vote in Congress against a grandstanding resolution endorsing the Mousavi movement."
