If you want to understand what's going on in Iran right now, read Ayn Rand's For the New Intellectual. She paints a very clear portrait of the spiritual tyrant and their relationship with the con questing tyrant. Iran's system is a perfect marriage of her nightmare vision of government.
You could probably find the audiobook on torrents if you were so inclined.

Hmmm... That makes me wonder if I could find and distribute that book in the persian language.

I just got orders last month to head to the land of the sand in October. Recent news in Iran has me fear that we'll be re-routed, troops are spread too thin already.....

Since 2005 our country has been preparing to put a military presence in Iran to prevent/stop enriching uranium and growing a nuclear weapon program, but you think we won't go in now that we may actually have the citizens on our sides? I don't mean today, I mean in 4-12 months.....

Today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fepZe...layer_embedded Chants you hear: "Toop, Tahnk, Basiji, deegar asar nadarad." = Guns, Tanks, Basijis, no longer have any effect. Gooreh Khar (or something Khar!), sheer shodeh, Basiji (something) shodeh." = "Zebra" (or jack ass) has turned into a "lion", Basiji has been (can't make it out)! "Marg bar Diktator" = Death to the Dictator fwiw, fyi. |

I'm generally of the same opinion. But I can see them accepting American help at some point if they feel assured that it's only for humanitarian reasons and not "a gift from the Greeks." For that They would need to trust the Obama administration and for now anyway B.O. is pretty popular in Iran.

yeah, Obama's video may have had some impact on their reactions we see today, the true test will come if he can back up what he has said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7954211.stm |

If the Iranians have any doubt the price they may pay for allowing the Americans to 'help' all they have to do is look next door or look backwards... No way are they that stupid.
