Even as we enjoy this lazy Saturday, Iran is coming apart at the seams. The kids there are getting rounded up and hanged and the mullahs are facing down a democratic revolution. As Jonah Goldberg says:
The only way Iranian regime change will ever come about is if we - Americans, Europeans, the West - want it to. By ignoring the story, the press is in effect lending its support to the corrupt theocrats ruling Iran. One can't help but think this story is particularly inconvenient to those who think no good could ever come, even as a partial result, of the president's foreign policy.Do you suppose we have something to do with what's happening in Iran? The mullahs have done a lot these past several months to piss us and the British off. And now they're pumping up the volume on this nuclear reactor stuff? The younger people in Iran don't want to pay the price if we or Israel have to come and blast their nuclear sites off the face of the Earth; they want music and computers and Hollywood. I'll bet they'd like to go to schools and learn from more than one book, too. Maybe even vote or speak their mind or not get down on their knees.
Can you imagine the incredible disappointment among Iran's younger generation if Kerry gets into the White House? The fucking guy actually wants to give the mullahs the materials to use in a light-water reactor and hope they don't try to reprocess the fuel for use in a bomb. What a maroon. What a fucking maroon. Right, John. Give these nutjobs the means by which they can keep their hold on power even more firmly. Idiot.
