overthrowing the regime sounds cool and all, but if done wrong we could be in an even worse place than we are now.

My feeling, too. BTW, I am the first to acknowledge that I am speaking from a position of total ignorance. I only know what I read in the US and European press.

However, I think the rather sunny idea that we will somehow, in the course of the next two weeks, be able to encourage a "resistance" to arise and overthrow the mullahcracy is a pretty futile hope. Many of the student dissidents of last year, btw, wanted a MORE Islamic and Sharia dominated state rather than a more liberal one.

Again, I have no insider information, but I don't think the "revolution" exists at this point nor do I think we have the time or ability to develop it.

If there is a "revolution" at this point, it is of the stealth variety.
