As hard as it may seem to believe even with the reported seven dead and numerous people who have been injured in the alleged voter fraud uprising that this may be a sign of possible progress for the middle east. After President Obama's Cairo Egypt speech it was questioned as to how it would play out across the Muslim countries in the region now we see that there are those who want the same democracy that the west enjoys and some have credited Obama as being the western leader who is affecting change.
The right wing extremist in our country has tried to use this to their Obama hating advantage even to the point of saying that it is Obama's fault with exception to any thing that would be a positive out come...then of course the right will take the credit, even now Ari Fleischer former Bush White House Press Secretary is setting up some wacky response by stating that (only if it is a positive outcome) that it was Bush's hardliner approach to Iran that caused this voter uprising.
Ari Fleischer emailed fellow Post reporter Glenn Kessler before any results had been issued in Iran’s hotly-contested presidential election to give credit to his former boss for the “reformists’ surge” there. “[O]ne of the reasons there is a substantial reform movement in Iran — particularly among its young people — is because of George W. Bush’s tough policies,” Fleischer wrote. Direct quote from Think Progress Web Blog By Ben Armbruster on Jun 15th, 2009.

Accusing George Bush of being one of the most disliked men in the Muslim world would not be far fetched, he is despised by many in the Mid east region.
