Only through the removal of the insane mullahs can Iranians have a chance for freedom. Hopefully, this type of “CHANGE” can continue throughout the islamic world.
It would be nice, but the reality is prospects are slim to none. Dictatorships never go quietly, and never on the first volley. You can bet that the hardliners will squelch all open opposition. Look how many times Saddam Hussein did purges within his government to hold onto power. The same thing will happen with “I’m A Nut Job”.
This will force the opposition underground, where hopefully with covert support from the West, it can grow into an effective revolution the next time. To be successful, it will have to include the regular military and that will require real covert action from the CIA, Massod, etc.
Of course with 0zero not wanting to “interfere” in Iran, you can conclude that all that will happen is 0zero voting “present” which will dash any hope for any meaningful opposition groups growing. All democracy fighters in the future will only see 0zero throwing them under the bus. So all you will ever see is periodic riots that will be put down like this one was courtesy of 0zero.
“Hopefully, this type of CHANGE can continue throughout the islamic world.”
This was the vision of the Bush Admin, putting two democracies on either side of the main terrorist instigator for the past 30 years. Maybe its time for another carrier landing for W under the “Mission Accomplished” banner. God Bless Him. His reputation and character were sacrificed to lay the groundwork for freedom and stability in the middle east. Hopefully Obama’s outreach projects are too little too late.
