1. There are protests going on in several places, and yet GD is not flooded

with OPs on them.

2. Wow, it's nice to see so many of my favorite people posting again

after months of quiet. They're usually on top of things so it looks like the Spanish ambassador has been detained and Mousavi is under house arrest, no one allowed in or out.

Being out in the streets won't do it in Iran, I'm afraid. Only strikes will work and I don't know if they've got enough support among the older folks to make it happen.

However, it will happen. If not now, then in a few years. The religious oligarchy is on borrowed time.
