Always looking to score the cheap point, NRO’s Kathryn Jean Lopez cherry-picks a quote from an interview with Iranian dissident Ayatollah Mohsen Kadivar:

Kadivar: Perhaps Western countries should stop treating Ahmadinejad’s government as the legitimate government of Iran.

Lopez: I hope the White House is reading that.

Here’s Kadivar’s full answer to the question of whether the West can do anything to support a democratic reform process:

Kadivar: The tightening of sanctions is not the right path ahead. They affect the people more than the government. A military attack is something I categorically reject.Perhaps Western countries should stop treating Ahmadinejad’s government as the legitimate government of Iran. Otherwise, I think the reforms must be pushed forward from inside the country.

I hope the Green movement’s fake American friends are reading that.
