" So when President Obama shied away from joining other world leaders who have aggressively criticized Iran's disputed election and condemned post-election violence -- an approach The Hill newspaper describes as "hands-off" -- he got high marks from Buchanan. "
He and others realize that if Obama got too involved it will come off to the Iranian gov't as U.S meddling and give them reason to call the upheaval U.S backed etc.

I dont understand why people cant grasp this. They're stuck in weird action-figure fantasies and just insist on staying in there.
"State television aired interviews with critics of the protests, urging Iranians to unite behind the government and suggesting only the West gained from Iran's troubles."
Because they're too eager to use this as an example of Obama being inexperienced with international affairs to see that he may actually be taking a reasonable approach to this situation.

I never thought a hard righty would agree with anything Omaba does or says.
He is not a neo-con. Different breed of conservative. Anti-interventionalist.
