   Assuming? Were people protesting out of sheer joy? I don’t think so. Every indication is that the election was stolen.

   Leave Iranians work this out. The ayatollahs are heading for the same garbage heap as the Shah.

   The more things change, the more they stay the same? We spend too much time trying to put white hats or black hats on others, without regard to what lies under the hat.

   TrickyPickle thanks for the stat link.

   Fennec, the Guardian article was interesting. There are many people who have misinterpreted the protests.

   I was just reading a commentary by Roger Cohen in the IHT in which he suggests that the ayatollahs have created this situation by educating their women. Interesting thought and it does seem as if the women have been in the forefront of the protests.
