Amidst the chaos enveloping Iran at the moment, it bears remembering that neither side is worth supporting from a civilised Western point of view. Just take a look at this pre-election debate between the two Presidential candidates, Ahmedinejad and Mousavi. Not only does the latter show no signs of disagreement with the former's Holocaust-denial and genocidal statements towards Israel, but he actually condemns Ahmedinejad for not executing the British sailors who ventured into Iranian waters a while back. Some alternative.

Indeed, according to NewsMax, Mousavi was a founder of Hizballah, the Lebanese Islamic terror group that wants to destroy Israel. Some may dismiss NewsMax as a biased right-wing source (because we all know that news is only ever unreliable when it comes from one of the handful of conservative outlets), but the claim should not be dismissed out of hand based on the company Mousavi keeps, including former President Rafsanjani, who in 2001 suggested that nuclear weapons could solve the Israeli problem, saying this would be an effective tactic "because the use of a nuclear bomb in Israel will leave nothing on the ground".

Whatever happens in the coming days and weeks, don't expect too much to change.
