    That pretty much sums it up.

      I once sat near him at a wedding of a mutual acquaintance. The guy is built like a tank.

        That’s right in line with my mental picture of him.

          The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                An Iranian goes back for a visit and records his observations. Interesting throughout.

                  Interesting observations. I have to think the mullahs are on their last legs. They’ve brought the country little but misery when they could be quite affluent.

                    It seems like people have been saying that for the last 20 years. Hopefully it will be true at some point.

                    I was only joking

                      The mullahs support base is outside Tehran among the rural peasantry and small towns. Those were the Iranians who supported Khomeni’s counterrevolution in 1979 and have kept the mullahs in power ever since. I really don’t see that base breaking from the theocracy anytime soon. The young Iranian intelligentsia in Tehran is in no better a position than it was twenty or more years ago when it challenged the peasant supported mullahs.

                            Protests abound if this is true.

                                  If you believe what you read, Iran's government has been on the bring of being overthrown since about 1979.

                                  Maybe it will finally be true. We can only hope.
