Prisons? My dear, you are an optimist. These people will simply disappear - into unmarked graves.

Somehow, I am not quite so sure about that. The parents of these ‘vanished’ are apparently also getting in on the act. Night before last, the Iranian twitters said that there were thousands ont heir balconies in the night, shouting ‘Death to the dictator’ …

Killing them all would be decidedly counterproductive.

But on the other hand - who knows what these mad mullahs are going to do.
After all, we had another dictator not so long ago who thought killing off all the learned, the students, the intellectual elite and the middle classes was a jolly good idea.
His name was Pol Pot …
