Silver Lining in Iran

The takeover of the legislature by the mullahs might prove to be their undoing.
When there were reformers the people had hope that things would get better. Now there are no reformers in control (not that they were ever REALLY in control) and the people of Iran are no longer under any illusions that the iron fist of the mullahs will somehow be reformed into something that they can live with.
The overwhelming majority of Iranians are not in favor of the mullahs. Now they know that they will never be free of these oppressive thugs.
the pot had been near to boiling and unless I miss my guess things will likely come to a boil in the near future.
I have predicted this will happen for some time and this latest election scam just is another step in that direction.
I feel for the people of Iran because I fear that the rulers they now have will not give up power without a fight. There will be bloodshed but hopefully when the smoke clears the people of Iran will be free.
