ARTICLE: Arab Activists Watch Iran And Wonder: 'Why Not Us?', By Sudarsan Raghavan, Washington Post, June 26, 2009

ARTICLE: Ahmadinejad Demands Apology From Obama, By Thomas Erdbrink and William Branigin, June 26, 2009

Nice combo of articles: Arabs wondering "Why not us?" and Ahmadinejad whining for an apology (truly weak-ass and pathetic: "Ooh! Sorry your public hates you so much!).

Overall, you have to be happy with this tumult. Just when we're so worried about being vulnerable in the region, "all-powerful" Iran suffers this huge bout of weakness (the kind that sticks and grows).
