With the State court having ruled, and former US Senator Norm Coleman conceding, the state of Minnesota is going to have two US Senators again.

Of the recounts – if they are fair – I approve; of the excessive court challenges, I don’t, although  it is clear why the GOP fought so hard to keep this seat.  In the next few months, we shall see the impact.

The current situation in Iran is interesting in that:

o The ‘whole world is watching’

o Conservatives in the US finally approve of mass demonstrations

o It is less clear that the justification of bring democracy to Iraq by invasion was legit (not that it ever was).
