The Iranian revolt would be farther along had GWB still been in the White House. Frankly, it is my opinion this was his and his people’s goal all along. Too bad it was set up beautifully only to have Obama piss all over it like a drunk frat member.
However, even without our support I think the people will win in the end. It is a numbers game, and even though the regime is executing a large number, it is not nearly enough. Now the local police are being fired and replaced with more violent and untrained “country people.” As the author suggests this will backfire as the unemployed professional officer will be a prime recruit for the revolution’s Green Movement.
I hope so. This is going to get bloody before it resolves itself. So far, the military has been straddling the fence. They go over to the Green side and Charlie Manson’s younger brother will need to put the haul a** on to get out of the country. In addition, if the revolutionary guard is met with armed resistance it also cannot win. Again it is a numbers game. The Green movement has put out a video that tugs at heart and I’m sure has persuaded more than one soldier or police officer to stop their actions. It is worth watching.
Pay attention to this and consider how brutal our government could get if we were unarmed. It is a lesson our founding fathers took to heart and we should never forget. Humans are humans and tyrants can rise from anywhere.
