I’m thinking that the members of the opposition in Iran are probably thinking that they: (1) missed a huge opportunity last year; (2) trying to figure out how to kickstart the opposition after the Basij and IRGC managed to thoroughly and effectively thrash the opposition with force.

The mullahs and Ahmadinejad are probably breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that they dealt with the opposition protests last year, and that their methods worked to crush the opposition then, and that they’d be likely to work again this time around.

But how long can they continue to blame us for this?

Actually, I was making a joke the other day that maybe Dubya was right all along. The war in Iraq will actually spark democracy all over the globe. I was kinda joking, but the more I think about it, maybe not so much! Then Chris Matthews “blamed” Bush for these recent riots. Although blaming Bush doesn’t seem to make any sense, at least others are thinking about it!
