Instead of the unsubstantiated (ad hominem) implication that the poster is irrational, you may wish to consider the simple equation of "who benefits". Clearly, Iranians are not sitting spell bound behind their computer screens waiting for motivational instructions pouring from Twitter. It is certainly possible that some degree of organizational support was provided by Twitter, but given the total control of the government over the infrastructure, it would have been a risky proposition. On the other hand, the world outside of Iran was, to the extent that was hyped on MSM, in thrall of the of #iranelection tweet stream. Here, in fact, we do have a case of an audience that could have been manipulated. So who benefits? Ask yourself if you feel more inclined to support armed action against Iran by US/NATO to "save" the Iranians.
