Once again, I cannot get over the conclusion that Republicans/Wingnuts/neocons really, really, really want a bloody Iranian crackdown. It's war porn for them. They get off on this stuff. They want another war, and they want Obama to take a position that assures it will happen. Obama has already said that the violence against the dissenting protesters is wrong and disturbing, but until he goes on teevee and announces Ahmedinejad is Cyborg Hitler On A Velociraptor, it won't slake their bloodlust.
And let's be honest here: these guys want war with Iran. Period. They want Israel and the U.S. to bomb the crap out of these guys. no matter what happens, we're going to hear for the rest of Obama's term how his failure to bomb Iran and kill hundreds of thousands directly caused the failure of Magical Democracy Power in Tehran. If Mousavi does end up taking over, they'll demand that he proves to the world that he's not hiding a nuclear program, and that if he doesn't do everything we want, we flatten the guy and all his buddies.
Most of all, they want Obama to be the force to precipitate a war with Iran here, so that they can simultaneously blame him for setting the Iranians off, blame him for not supporting the protesters earlier, and blame him for not sending in Giant Dr. Manhattan to stop it.
