What can't Iran get away with?

Sorry to interrupt everyone's attention from the awkward kiss between Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the "re-elected" President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. While much attention has rightly been paid to the electoral mess going on in Iran, we seem to have once again lost sight of the bigger issues -- a.k.a., the reasons why we care about the results of the Iranian election so much.

Several sources are reporting that the plane crash in Northwest Iran that killed 168 people two weeks ago was caused by the detonation of explosives meant to be given to Hizballah by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. This explosion comes on top of one in Lebanon not long ago, an illegal Hizballah weapons cache. The existence of this cache was known to the UN force in Southern Lebanon for months, but they predictably did nothing about it. Sadly, the Iranians will once again walk away scot-free.
