For the last month we here in the US have heard nothing but the cries of Civil War in Iraq as "some" sectarian violence evolved after the bombing of a high visibility mosque. We have heard nothing but distain coming from the leader of Iran, who is threatening the world with their nuclear demands. We have seen hords of Hollywood bimbos basking in the limelight as they bash Bush and the administration. We have heard the Democrats weak cries for censorship of the President and everything about his low ratings. But have you heard anything about the possible civil war brewing in Iran? Have you heard anyting about the uprising of thousands of dissatisfied Iranians protesting their countries leadership? Of course not. WHY?
It would appear that thousands of youth across Iran have conducted vicious protests against their country's leadership. Not only against the present "dictator" president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but the Ayatolla Ruhollah Khomeini as well. Khomeini was the Islamic revolution founder. Pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were also set ablaze by the protestors. It is reported that the Iranian government has sent thousands of troops across the country to try and repress the demonstrations. The demonstrations were part of the traditional "fire festival" celebration. Iranian leaders have tried unsuccessfully since 1979 to stamp out the annual festivities.
Is this a sign of things to come in Iran? More and more right wing Iranians are bucking up against the leadership in Iran, protesting the slow turn around in economical standards that the present regime in Iran had promised upon his election, that and governments reversal of important reforms brought forth by the previous two leaders.
So things are not all that rosy for the new "president" in Iran. As he still pushes forward with his nuclear plans, he must now learn to cope with the civil unrest that is taking place in his country. Now the question is, do we try to stop him or do we let the growing unrest take its natural course? All attempts to squash the unrest have failed to this point. The government, fearing a total lashing out by the people of Iran, has more on their hands than just the weak EU, and UN. This one could be interesting. Can the radical leaders be taken out by or over thrown by the same people that put him in power? With some outside proding, anything could happen.
