Geez, have you paid any attention since November 4th, 1979? Maybe, just maybe, there are Iranian Shiite Hezb'ullah factions that would love to poke US in the eye for the MEK Camp Ashraf situation in Iraq? Please do not get played as a sympathetic liberal. These are Marxist friends of Hussein.

And who's to say that these dopes would survive the change to a more free system? If it causes problems for the current Iran admin, I'm all for it.

Likely there are several factions interested in toppling the current regime. None of them singularly would be able to do it. Right now they have a common enemy.

If they work together, they can accomplish this. We can worry about who’s going to come out on top later.

But for now, the current regime cannot continue and I support the revolution. If someone wants to accuse me of supporting fascists because of that, that’s certainly their prerogative, but it’s nothing but false accusations. Anyone who does that is a liar engaged in a smear campaign against FReepers who think other than he.

Let it be noted, IMO, that objecting to the revolution simply because there may be factions in there that are not worth supporting, casts anyone in that position in the light of being against the revolution and in favor of keeping Ahmadinejad in power.
