Same old story: a corrupt government invokes patriotic feelings to counter attacks against itself from abroad (or inside, associate the opposition with external forces and call them traitors). I'm so sick of this.

Yeah but to be honest it's H.Clinton's fault for providing them with ammunition. What else did she think she was going to achieve by adding her weight to the argument? It was completely unnecessary and IMO a diplomacy fail.

It's the same with Ahmadinejad, most Iranians don't like him but they'll be "for" him if the Western world is being seen to deny them nuclear power.

Sounds an awful lot like the Bush administration in the aftermath of 9/11 and the buildup to the Iraq war...
