#1 This is why the pin-stripe and academically challenged can't fathom that in Iran, there is not going to be an effective popular uprising to remove those who control the reigns of power. As long as they have enough people willing to pull the triggers, the only change will happen from external forces. Hope is not a strategy. The mullahs, like these 'generals', know that if they lose power, they lose their heads. It's the golden rule of dictators, 'Do on to others, before they do on to you'.
