Well, of course...

Conservatives gain in Iran polls

From Aljazeera

Conservative politicians in Iran have won a parliamentary majority after two rounds of elections, according to final results.

They had won a majority of the 208 seats decided in the first round of voting in March for the 290-member assembly.

When you make ceaseless warlike noises at a population they rally 'round the flag and the hardliners. Duh.

All this noise is electing a slate of whackadoos that will make Ahmadinejad and his crowd look like the Merry Pranksters. The state dept knows this of course. Every time Bush or McCain blast off about the evil power of Iran, it embellishes the prestige of the hardline Shia heavies in the Iranian government.

So the question is... why Bush on the side of the fiendish Ayatollahs?

Why is John McCain is aiding the terrorists?
