re: #88 alegrias

They protesters would have to crash the Fourth of July parties, while the mullahs got to RSVP.

Wrong. The diplomats got the invite, not the mullahs. Even if the regime were overthrown they’d eventually replace the ambassadors and other political appointees but the embassy staff would be more or less the same folks. I’m not a big fan of the July 4th invites, I think the only way they’ll end up being a positive thing is if the Iranians overthrow the government before July 4th. Let’s hope they do, I’d love to see it.
