IRAN: Not another Egypt...too bad.


The Iranian government had the balls to openly support the Egyptian people’s revolution for freedom but violently CRUSH a similar attempt by their own people.

In fact, the Iranian parliament members are seen in videos screaming for the execution of the opposition leaders (Mousavi, Karroubi and Khatami) even though these men may have nothing to do with the current protests which were spurred by the Egyptian uprising.

The idiot clerics in charge of the religious dictatorship in Iran actually had the gall to say that what happened in Tunisia and Egypt was the deposing of secular dictators by Islamists trying to create an Islamic Republic which is absolutely nothing close to the truth.

Iranians overthrew a secular dictator (Shah of Iran) and replaced it with a theocracy that is even more brutal than the Shah ever was and now the poor Iranian people are stuck.

The clerics obviously do not want to give up their power and their privileged lifestyle. These clerics have enabled members of parliament with the same privileges and so to some of the police and military (Revolutionary guards). These people would be out on their asses if the same thing happened in Iran as in Egypt.

It does not matter if you’re a holy-ass cleric or a money hungry secular dictator, you want the power and the wealth and the lifestyle and you will do everything possible to keep it as Mubarak tried to do but the military sided with the people and he had to go.

The same thing needs to happen in Iran but I am not sure if an Iranian military leadership exists that is not tied to the government (separate from the Revolutionary Guards). Even if the military was stand-alone, it would have to physically battle with the crazy religious zealots that form the police and the guards and that would mean civil war.

I don’t see an out for the Iranian people, most who are under 30 years old and yearning for freedom especially the female population except if and when Israel / U.S. bomb nuclear facilities in Iran that are about to produce an atomic weapon. So far, we were able to infect their computers with sophisticated viruses that put back their atomic bomb development plans by a few years.
