I like the article and appreciate the well-presented thoughts you add. However, I am completely indifferent to whether the Iranian government becomes consumed with - or by - internecine strife. In fact, a power struggle between the lunatic, anti-Western, nuclear war threatening elected President and the lunatic, anti-Western, nuclear war threatening clerical leadership can not possibly result in anything worse taking either of their places. So, the only pause these political fisticuffs give me is to consider the parallels between the lunatic, science hating, AGW denying, First Amendment destroying FringeBaggers here and the ones there.
