Again, the United States must be cautious. There is no reason to even suggest that we support the return of a monarch in any form. Referencing the shah will only give the fundamentalists ammunition to claim U.S. interference.
There is reason for the United States to support election integrity in Iran or anywhere else. President Barack Obama is doing that, and he stands as a positive symbol to opponents of the Iranian regime. Obama has offered to work with Iran if it will unclinch the fist it has for America. The Iranian leadership has been stubbornly unresponsive.
