Power Line writes of the Washington Post's Karl Vick, who has nothing but sweet kisses and bonbons for Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But then, the bulk of the western media--especially CNN--had rarely a discouraging word for Saddam Hussein and his frequent 99.96 percent "election" victories.

If Iran under the mullahs ends in the same fashion as Iraq under the Baathists, I wonder if any of the western media will be honest enough to write something like this immediately afterwards.

Update: Hey, who says the BBC doesn't have a sense of humor--an inadvertent one at least, as Rand Simberg notes:

[Jimmy Carter's] comments are significant, given that he was the president when US relations with Iran hit an all-time low.

Chaps, it's time meet Jay Nordlinger.
