RE: The Iranian “revolution”

So a bunch of young, smart, technologically capable Iranians are protesting¹ a crooked election that re-installed the mullahs’ golden boy once again. While that’s a healthy response and all, wake me up when something new happens. You people realize that the other guy, Mousavi, doesn’t even get to the position he’s in unless he passes the mullahs’ muster at some point, right?

There is also no reason on Earth to believe that any government that the people of Iran would be materially different save for the corruption, especially vis-a-vis the United States.

So, count me among the people that aren’t getting too worked up over something that will ultimately amount to nothing.
