More Bloodshed To Come In Iran

The expulsion of foreign journalists is another ominous sign indicating that more bloodshed is planned. The government has made a calculated decision to confront demonstrations with pure force. It believes that the excitement of the people over the election results will be short lived. That the movement can be contained and the majority’s will can be subdued using massive force and unimaginable brutality. In preparation for that scenario, it plans to isolate the country from the rest of the world as much as possible.

A pessimistic outlook. The regime has acted in the past with astonishing brutality. There can be no doubt some regime leaders a willing to do so now. The only question is why not yet? Have they been unable to find reliable thugs and get them into position?
