Iran: TweedleDum, TweedleDee

Think Imanutjob! is a 'radical' and the other guy is not?

Wrong.

As prime minister during the 1980s, Moussavi was routinely described as a "militant" and "hard-liner" in press accounts. He celebrated Islamists' seizure of of the U.S. Embassy, backed the Supreme Leader's call for author Salman Rushdie's murder, and had ties to Lebanese terrorist goup Hezbollah. He has been quoted as referring to America as "the Great Satan" and to Israel as a "cancerous tumor."

Same difference.
