white house website is farsi. i talked to the white house about that decision. they said that they wanted iranians to read it themselves. the larger picture is that president obama does not want the united states to become a major element in the debate as long as the ruling clerics a iran say that this is a western- sponsored demonstration, that is one thing, but if it becomes overt and the demonstrators themselves see the united states calling for regime change, a loaded term in that part of the world following the iraq war in becomes more complicated. it answers the united states into something that would complicate the demonstrators' cause. host: guest: let's go to the phones. -- host: but the to the phones. caller: i would like to talk about the history ofiran. we overthrew the government in 1973 by the cia and we install shah was a mass-murder. look at what we have done to those people? what you talk about what is going on ingaza, send all your news people there and to what is happening to those people in gaza. we spent $500 million to destabilize the irani

i'm the editor in chief of their online journal in persian, farsi.a weekly journal we put out about the u.s., on the matter of politics, society and the such. host: back to the phones. cincinnati, ohio. d on the line for the democrats. caller: how are you? host: go ahead. caller: there is a lot of talk in the house and senate about what the united states should say vis-a-vis the elections in iran. these point out to me that there isn't much we really need to say. we said all we need to say in last year's election. and when barack obama was campaigning for president and he talked about the power of one to make a difference in this country. i don't think he was just talking about the american people, i think he was talking to the people around the world to be free. this point sounds so ridiculous for the united states to go into a country and try to force democracy down the throats of people at the end of a gun. democratic has to be legitimate and sustained. i want to know how your guest feels about this and whether or not the young people in iran are
