The first reports of the "anniversary" are coming in...

[Tacis]

Should, over the next two years, the ayatollah butchers be replaced by moderates and the entire Iranian society transformed to fit with a progressive world, guided by the US, how will the neocomminist dems in the US blame President Bush?

This is good news, Doctor!

Doc, We had a post from your student friend in Iran in the last thread.
Would you post that here agian? It was so interesting!

[ZULU]

I hope the U.S. is ready, willing and able to provide any assistance that revolting dissenters in the Islamic People's Paradise may need to send the Ayatollahs packing.

It would also be another great feather in Bush's hat. To help undue the damage done by his Dim-o-c-Rat-ic predecessor Jimmy Carter.

Radicals, Extremists Vie For Control Of Iran

TEHRAN—As the Feb. 20 parliamentary election approaches, hard-line conservative religious radicals and fundamentalist Islamic extremists are stepping up their disparate campaigns. "It's up to the people: Does the future of Iran lie in the hands of the far-right extremists or the far-far-right radicals?" said Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, head of the hard-line Guardian Council that recently banned thousands of moderate candidates from the election. "Will the old-school clerics win, or is the country ready for a new stripe of fundamentalists who will take authoritarianism in an entirely different direction?" Jannati urged all of Iran's citizens to get out and make their votes count.

Re #1

Why need to celebrate 25 years of glory while they could celebrate 2,500 years of glory? Oh, I know! Islam is a relatively recent phenomenon in Iran. So good memory of infidel pagans have to be buried at all costs.
