It's so crazy, it just might work.

"What about you, John. Anything to add?"

"Mr. President, here's how I see it. The mullahs have really blown it. The entire world sees this election for the fraud it was. Coup by them or by Dinnerjacket himself, or both, it is a coup, and he is now a tyrant in charge of a tryannical regime."

"We can't just accuse them of that, John. We need them at the bargaining table, so they don't try to get nukes or sponsor terror."

"Mr. President, with all due respect, if they were willing to do this, with the whole world watching and now condemning them, their word on nukes and terror sponsorship is worthless."

"So what do you recommend?"

"Mr. President, instead of silence, which if I may be so bold implies acceptance of what has occurred, why don't you consider issuing a statement saying that we do not recognize Ahmadinejad as president of Iran. We see what is going on right now, in the streets and across the country, and this may energize the protesters and keep this going for a few months."

"Then what?"

"Then Mr. President, the regime would be getting desperate and in fear of being overthrown, and it may agree to give up the nuke program in exchange for lifting all sanctions and renewed diplomatic ties with the US in hopes that the economic turnaround produced by the influx of foreign capital will placate the people."

"Interesting. But what about the talks?"

"Mr. President, do you really trust this tyrant and the mullahs? Do you really think they will give up nukes and terror?"

"Well, John, you've suggested an intriguing approach. I mean how much worse can it get. They ARE building nuclear weapons, and they are sponsoring terror in Lebanon and Palestine. Those are the facts on the ground. Plus, I would probably have Great Britain and France and Germany with me on this."

"Please consider it, Mr. President. I really feel that remaining silent plays into the hands of the tyrant, and legitimizes the coup by default."

"Thank you, John. I will. As we used to say in Chicago, it's so crazy..."

Chorus: "It just might work!"

2. The fundamental argument of Ahmadinejad is that its a US ochestrated velvet revolution.

Unsurprisingly, Iran isn't fond of its "Axis of Evil" label nor does the populace want the "liberation" Iraqis received. If the president comes out endorsing the opposition, he (Hossein Mousavi) is through.

3. The less said the better

I think just about anything the US government does or President Obama says about the election in Iran will only make things worse. The last thing reformers in Iran want is to be seen as being influenced by the United States.
