Bush is on TV speaking about the Iranian regime. He had just spoken to Putin and they are putting pressure on the Iranians regarding their nuclear ambitions. BTW, it is Bush's b-day. He told the reports to remember to wish him happy birthday.... he said, Putin had.

There are a variety of military groups in Iran. They have a standard military (mostly conscripts and many sympathetic to the protest movement. I have written about this in past threads but the mullahs have never trusted the military, so they created several paramilitary forces to act as a check against the military. Some of these groups are better trained and equipped than the military itself. Frankly, these groups could easily take the country into civil war.

I like your idea about who should be executed. I think most Iranian agree with you, “attach them to trees,” as they say.
