Wrong..oh so wrong. Iran is a nation in a state of change right now. The middle and upper class are getting tired of the mullahs and the heavy handed censorship.

And there have been many reports that the military is starting to lose it's incentive to go out and brutally put down these demonstrations.
The President of Iran is a "moderate" who is doing the best he can under difficult situations to move the country away from it's anti-west stature.
If you go the major cities of Iran, you will see women openly defying the Muslim demands for dress, and dressing in a very "Western" manner. This goes for the guys too. Not to mention the many western businesses that are open and flourishing in that country.
The people are tired of the old men that have run this country for the last 24 years. And while I'm not for an American invasion of Iran, I would say that in Iran, there would be MORE support from the people for the overthrow of their government than we have seen so far in Iraq!

Finally, a sense of balance in the usual left/right nonsense.
If you can't see the the difference between black and white are you really colour blind? Or do you see grey?
