TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's election turmoil is stretching across its borders, with tensions erupting between the Islamic republic and Britain, France and Germany.

Iran's foreign minister is bristling at the European nations' raising questions about the legitimacy of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's (ah-muh-DEE'-neh-zhahdz) re-election.

He's accusing France of "treacherous and unjust approaches." But, his most pointed criticism was aimed at Britain. He raised historical grievances and accused it of flying in intelligence agents ahead of the vote.

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband "categorically" denied his country was meddling, saying "this can only damage Iran's standing in the eyes of the world."

3. rather the contrary

the worse it gets in Iran the more Obama will be criticized for its "stand".

he made a strategical error by confusing rightful criticism and "meddling"

at least the US House had to remind him of what America stands for or should stand for.

5. He could ramp up, which he did about right to dissent, but harder to take down rhetoric.

4. It makes sense, if a person thinks they are right.

And their own people disagree, they have to either think and admit they might be wrong, something hard for certain people to do, or get paranoid and find someone to blame.

If their people do not understand their rule by authority, and their claim where it comes from. It must be someone else's fault, and as soon as you look for the person at fault for your own issues, you have to become paranoid.

And then the mad hatter screaming begins. Seen it before.

They should blame Lyta Alexander if it is just their own nightmares.

6. They lash out but there's something obvious missing

like PROOF that the elections were legit.
It's pretty simple to prove... if you have the proof... which they obviously don't.

8. This is a lot of trouble to go to to prevent showing the people their will was observed and enacted
