Exactly.
And now the head guys are threatening “or else” if the protesters don’t chill. So, Ahmanutjob is going to start opening random fire on these people? Are they sufficiently cowed because the U.S. basically stood silent?

I agree with you. While I’m not convinced Mousavi is the answer that will bring freedom to the Iranians, clearly any move that would even partially neutralize the mullahs would be a good move.
And while more freedom is not a certainty should Mousavi become a power broker its obvious the status quo is the most untenable position for both Iranians who seek their freedom and for America.

Ahmadinejad now has a nickname for Obama, “Chump”.
