Mark Steyn: It’s mullah time!
[Posted 6:32 AM by Stefan Beck]
Andrew Sullivan, these days one of the most outspoken enemies of Iran’s theocracy, had an excellent piece on Salon.com last week about the Left’s deafening silence on the issue of Iranian revolution.
On Saturday he noted on his blog that the NYT had printed a piece about the powder keg that is Tehran–but the story was, as he put it, “buried on page three” and “even more hard to find on the website.” Today on the NYT’s editorial page, Thomas L. Friedman addresses the Tehran situation only as a preamble to the usual Iraq anxiety.
So be it. Is it such a great loss that papers like the NYT refuse to devote serious attention to this debate? Columnists like Mr. Sullivan and TNC’s own Mark Steyn seem to have the student uprisings covered.
