Thanks for the ping.

At this point, I am guessing that this is going to be quashed by the mullahs, but I hope I am wrong.

I tend to agree- however- last night I read a long piece (wish I had even a vague memory of where) by someone well-versed in Iranian ways. He said it’s not JUST about the protests we’re seeing- it’s also within the government itself- the mullahs aren’t in agreement about this and there may be splintering going on.

I don’t think Moussavi is necessarily better for the West than MadMood- but it’s a start.

FOX showing now live- HUGE, HUGE crowds in the streets.

Government says the “consequences of the demonstrations are the responsibility of Moussavi and others”...

Unless they can get at least the same number of protesters out for this that they had during the early days of the 1979 hostage crisis, the government will kill as many as it takes to quash this uprising. I predict another Tienanmen Square style military act.
