#1 Colonel Razmjoo is dead! Quick Mustafa grab his watch, cellphone and wallet.

One can hope this stuff is true and starts picking up. A popular uprising would be a good thing.

#5 Is it okay to make fun of his name? I mean, well, I wouldn't want to be the one to stem the tide of Muslims flooding to the side of reason and freedom - cuz they were turned off by a snarky comment.

#8 Are we sure it was anti-government forces that killed Razmjoo? I mean, it's possible some of his co-workers got confused, only saw the last few letters of his name, and decided to "go jihad".

#9 Okay, RC - you're skating on thin ice as that comes mighty close to making fun...

#10 members of a religious cult, more fanatic than themselves...

Is this possible? Of course from the perspctive of a Kufir a few degrees of difference is almost indistinguishable.

BTW, while I too hope for an Iran that is not a thinly disguised theocracy and is actualy a pleasant place for the inmates, somehow I suspect our hopes will be disapointed when or if the Revolution comes.
My money is that any sucessor regime will almost have to be as anti-american as the current one just to defeat the charge of being "Zionist puppets". The rot from the anti-semitic and anti-american moonbats has gone on too long, too far, and and soaked in too deep for anyting short of cultural devastation to undo.

#12 10 Is this possible?

yes - and it's not at all clear they would be our friends. I don't know if they have these guys in mind or not. But if they're too secular to fit the bill, how about these guys instead - remember, they're Sunni fanatics who look down on the Shia, including Iran. Or maybe it's these guys instead. Or maybe Jund al Islam? Or ....

Alas.

#13 Hey! This was a really fun thread until you guys started getting all serious and stuff. So I'm going to close my eyes for a while and believe really, really hard that there are only good guys, 'K? 'Cause if I believe hard enough, it just has to be true!
