Nothing succeeds like success.

Everything hinges on a successful democracy in Iraq. When the quality of life goes up for the average Iraqi, the populace in neighboring countries will notice. And freedom will have its way.

They're in power because they have the guns and the apparatus to stay there. We didn't know this?

Iran's population is young. Most revolution is lead by those who have reached middle age and been denied access to the levers of power. Movements start among the young but it is not until they mature that they vie for power.

One of the most vexing questions animating observers and analysts of Iranian politics is: why despite being extremely unpopular and incompetent, are the fundamentalists still in power?


Incompetent? Oh no no no, they are very competent...at staying in power.
