These things usually happen from within, not by external force.

I'm thrilled that Ahmadinejad and the mullahs overplayed their card so baldly. As a result, they've lost "the street". Oh sure, they may be able to forcibly keep order for awhile, but the fuse is lit. No invasions or purple diatribes from here needed now. At this point in time (and, of course, this might change) I hope the US plays it like the New England Patriots scheme - - let the other team make the inevitable mistake and then pounce/take advantage.

After this weekend, they are on their way down the drain.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

when 70% of your population is under the age of 30, and the average age of an Iranian is 28....


change is coming from within.

All the people cheering the rioters on in Iran are the same people that were HORRIFIED at our "little tea partys"

Oh it's crying time again your gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before its crying time

I will totally agree that Iran is imploding. I'm impressed by the courage of the people there. Demanding their own freedom. I WISH ALL THE SUCCESS.

I disagree that the US action have been "smart". Obama's "silence" is deafening and a huge sign of weakness. People have been murdered in the street by militias, yet nary a peep from the "One". Typically WEAK.

I'm not the only one that thinks so".

So, what you have us do?

They do not need, or want, out and out physical support, but solidarity is important, even in some small way. A simple statement like;

Would do wonders, it would let the people know, in a subtle way, that we stand with them, yet is not incredibly offensive to the current regime. Obama is voting "present" once again. Only this time the world is watching.

I sincerely hope so, shmessy. I would love to see Ahmadinejad go down. I just hope that, if the citizens do take down the current regime, someone who harbors a good amount of hate for "Western ways" does NOT step into his place. Supposedly though, the younger population of Iran wants a better relationship with the West. As someone else here said, they like blue jeans, coke (the drink or the drug... doesn't matter), and Marlboro cigarettes.

EDIT: And you can bet your ass that Israel is happy to hear this as well...
