#1 The guys running Iran are like the people running the U.S.S.R. the Iron Curtain which they brought down on the people of its countries. It lasted from the late 1940s or early 1950s until President Reagan was president.

The Iran mullahocracy is evil and cannot stand the light of day. They need to come down. Trouble in the Mideast will not diminish until their stranglehold is destroyed from within or from without. The people of Iran will not be free until they are toppled.

Not even drinking. Maybe I should start.

The people running Iran are like the leaders running the former U.S.S.R. They imposed the "Iron Curtain" on its peoples. The countries which made up the U.S.S.R. went dark.

#3 James,

Talk about the law of unintended consequences coming into play! Hamas/Hizbullah and their sock puppet/lap dog minions of Iran set off a number of demonstrations hoping to get Egypt turned so they can resupply Gaza at their leisure. Now they find they can't put that jhinni back in the bottle and the simmering hostility from the charade elections last year are now coming back.

We might just yet see some really interesting events unfold.

My question is whether a defunct mullaocracy in Iran means a defanged Hizbullah? Or does that mean the real wack jobs are then off the leash?
