Iran
Iran may be teetering on the brink of revolution, but not many people in the media are talking about it. Jonah Goldberg has a column about it here and Michael Ledeen has many columsn such as this and this. We can all hope that the Iranians will revolt and put in place a less terrorist supporting, freer, and more democratic government. What to do about Iran was the question I wanted to know most about during the last debate as neither candidate has laid out a clear plan for dealing with Iran apart from Kerry wanting to help their nuclear program by giving them nuclear fuel.
Most Iranians are younger than I am, which means they do not remember the Shah and do not know any life other than living under the Mullahs. It appears they have figured out that life is much more pleasant living in a free society like the U.S. than living in a totalitarian theocracy. I hope that which ever candidate is elected, he will help these revolutionaries.
Update: Roger Simon has more.
