Never take a rock to a gunfight

A solutions-oriented commentary

*What's it all about?  JAATI is a real word, but alternately here, stands for "Just About Anything That's Interesting, (or Inflammatory)". It can also be a poignant reminder that no matter how far above the law politicians feel, or how genetically superior the Tinsel town stars feel they are, we are supposed to be a casteless society. Let's try to act like it. The goal is simple and straightforward. Wake up the "slumbering masses" and motivate them to either do something or elect someone who will.

Note to the younger and/or more westernized citizens of Iran:

Aside:I have to wonder if the b-ho wishes he could completely dis-arm America, so that he would have this kind of control over the populace.

How in hell will the protesters, now diminished by hundreds dead, make any headway against the mullahs?

The only possibility is for the army to side with the civilians, what are those chances? If only some do so, and a coup fails, it is pretty clear what fate awaits them.

The b-ho also denied any funding or permissions for the CIA to work with and assist the resisting populace. What a shokka, who'da thunk it?

I can only watch, and hope that if progress is made, that there is a new awakening of a "Reformed Islam", (the only circumstance you will ever find me using a capital letter for that second word), else they will all end up under the same old islamic shari'a law, and again oppressed, sooner or later. "allahu ahkbar", yeah.

There is so much more to being Westernized than liking our fashions, music, freedoms, (though they are severely under attack from within lately).

They are going to have to forcibly take their country, get their own equivalent to our 2nd Ammendment, and never be helpless again.
