How will it end? Reform with a less oppressive government? A power vacuum with an ISIS like regime taking over? The ayatollahs stay in power with a murderous crackdown?

If these protesters truly want a departure from muslim theocracy, they deserve assistance, but if this amounts to nothing more than eventually replacing one set of islamothugs with another set of islamothugs, then forget it.

The 2009 uprising came shortly after a smooth-talking socialist took power in our country, claiming he cared about people globally. This one comes after a real President of the United States has demonstrated he's not a pansy.

Excellent comment from the article:

"New realities

At first, understanding the price of opening fire on protesters, officials were seen resorting to various practices such as dispatching hordes of security forces on foot and on motorcycles, threatening to take action. Posts on social media, however, indicate low morale amongst security forces unwilling to open fire upon protesters even if ordered to do so.

A member of the regime’s ultraconservative Basij, a paramilitary unit of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), is seen placing down his baton and taking off his jacket, leaving a not indicating how he is no longer willing to attack his fellow countrymen."

Pray for protesters’ hopes for freedom. May God keep them safe. May their sacrifices bring them victory.

Wish we could parachute Homabama and his Waterbuffalo wife into the heart of Tehran.

Let the little son-of-a-bitch give his apology speech where it counts.
