Given its advancing nuclear technology and regional influence, Iran believed before the election that it held the trump cards in any negotiations. Now, politically disgraced, it is the needy one. Yet Washington might also pay a price for engaging with a government that brutalizes its people. Any involvement could effectively bestow legitimacy on a disputed election and reject the transparency and justice that protesters are seeking. The uprising has transformed Iran's political landscape.

Raises the question ...
by wgm1919 on Tue Jul 14, 2009 05:58 AM PDTThis article is a nice overview of what are the side effects of the events in Iran. The question is "who was the winner and who the loser of these events (in the big picture sense)?"
Thanks.
