#1 Mujahadeen E khalk is ethnically Parsi, no? While its possible they planted a bomb in ethnically Arab Ahvaz, it could have been locals. The first steps toward democracy in Iraq have to be particularly tempting to the Arabs of the Iranian province of Khuzistan.

No schadenfreude - civilians were killed, terror is terror.

But I heard a long story on ferment in Iran on NPR yesterday. Talked about a protest by several hundred women at the gates of Teheran Univ, and the massive efforts of the security forces to contain and keep folks from joining. If even National Palestinian Radio has taken notice, things must REALLY be on the boil there.

#2 Iran seems to me to be like Saudi Arabia or china. The modern world is knocking on the door and if the govt. doesnt let changes take place they are not going to like what happens. You never see the moderate side of Iran, but I suspect about 90% of the country would rather be happy and make a living than be a fundamentalist. I remember that day that the soviet union started falling apart on the news, it made for good viewing. I'll enjoy watching the guardian council deposed.
