re: #320 Bagua

The average Iranian wants a better life and to be free of the oppressive Mullah regime. That is not in doubt. The problem is who is in control of the military and the nuclear and missile programs. That is not the Iranian people, it is the oppressive regime of which Ahmedinijad is President.

The worst thing that could happen to the Iranian populace is for the Mullahs/Military to further cement their grip on power by acquiring a nuclear shield.

Yes, but stopping the regime without the whole populace behind the reformers will not happen in the next 6 months, but the people are between a rock and a hard place. Personally, I think everyone should be more worried about Pakistan. They have the bombs and it looks like elements of their military are supporting the Taliban. But everyone has their eye on Iran.
