Don’t forget it’s election season, and (say what you will about Iranian “reformists”) this Mr. Mousavi fellow has to be pretty dangerous to the Ayatollahs if they actually had to ban his Facebook page.

Who wins will signal the direction the Mad Mullahs wish to take. If Mousavi wins it will be sign they wish to open a dialog and soften their stance. If Achmadenijad wins it will be a sign of the Mullahs recalcitrance.

Curry did a Dateline piece last night on Iran and covered the elections and the unrest of the youth in Iran. The thing she complete missed is the Mullahs run a Theocracy and will not allow an election to go awry from their point of view.
