THis could have been done in 2010 but for Obama.

This happens ever decade, and I know how it ends: hundreds, if not thousands killed and "disappeared", and tens of thousands imprisoned, usually between age 16 and 36.

.......because they don't have a 2nd Amendment.

I suspect Trump won’t betray the protesters like obastard betrayed the Egyptian ones. And I think the protesters know that.

Obama's MOST cowardly moment:

He didn't even LIFT A FINGER.

Trump has an awful lot on his hands right now, but, hopefully some have seen this coming, and there are plans to take advantage of it.

We should mind our own business. Arrogant meddling in Iranian affairs helped get us where we are today and meddling is the surest way to destroy any chances for change. The question of the Iranian regime is a matter for the Iranians to solve on their own.

This is a big deal. No coincidence that it is happening now.

In general I agree with nonintervention. However, Iran is already threatening to attack Israel and the USA, the little and great satans. If they get nukes, possibly from N Korea if not of their own making, it would just be a matter of time before something like a Liberian registered ship entered the Port of New York and detonated a nuke. And then they would deny it was them. It could have been the N Koreans.

You can blame Jimmy Carter for abandoning the last Shah of Iran (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi)

Iran was becoming a modern country back in the 1970s. Look up pictures. Western dress, modern education system, women suffrage, women could drive, vote, wear dresses or pants in public.

A large part of the population of Iran is under 35 and the average age is 27. They are not into this religious rule.

“Trump has an awful lot on his hands right now, but, hopefully some have seen this coming, and there are plans to take advantage of it.”

Funny how the American’s and Israeli’s got together to discuss a strategy on Iran and a day later this happens.

Coincidence? I think not.

Too bad Trump wasn’t in office when the Green Movement was rising back in 2009. Obama wouldn’t even acknowledge there was a challenge to his beloved mullahs.

I’ve noticed things turn out different when there is a Trump card in the game.

I bet that some assets were moved into place inside Iran.

It is our business. They are developing rockets and nukes.. They don't organize mob's screaming "Death to America" for nothing. We've got a second bite at the apple here, this time organize and train armed resistance .

That was one of the most awful, heart-wrenching things I’ve ever seen.
