Andrew McCarthy on understanding Obama's reaction to the Iranian protests

Andrew McCarthy has a brilliant post on the Corner on understanding Obama's response (or lack thereof) to the Iranian protests.

In brief, McCarthy says: "The fact is that, as a man of the hard Left, Obama is more comfortable with a totalitarian Islamic regime than he would be with a free Iranian society." I think that's exactly right... Obama doesn't want the protestors to win. He's more comfortable with the mullahs being in power.
