A new, freer Iranian government will likely result in more economic growth than the Cleric run government. Even with the fall of the Cleric government, Iran is going to remain highly Muslim, and thus a likely participant in the Grand Jihad ~50 years from now. In the shorter term, Mousavi has stated he will continue Iran’s nuclear program. Isn’t it foolish to then hope for the fall of Ahmadinejad and the Clerics?

I hope Ahmadinejad remains in power and continues to listen to his buddy Hugo Chavez. I also hope Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities get bombed soon.

I think leaders who emerge from a bloody revolution unlike through peaceful elections could end up themselves as dictators or, might change to heed the voices of freedom in the new information age. History is not a useful precedent here. What we have here is a revolt by a predominantly young and educated group yearning to break loose from the iron boot of religious dictatorships that cramp their impulse for personal autonomy.
