As the Iranian authorities warned the opposition on Tuesday that they would tolerate no further protests over the disputed June 12 presidential elections, a report emerged of the hangings of six supporters of defeated candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.
Speaking after Iran's top legislative body upheld the election victory of incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sources in Iran told this reporter in a telephone interview that the hangings took place in the holy city of Mashhad on Monday. There was no independent confirmation of the report.

Not exactly the ONLY difference. An armed populace can prevail against a despotic government. Its a fallacy that a military can easily crush an armed citizenry.
An F-16 can certainly drop a JDAM on an area with active armed resistance. But it becomes a very different game when attacking their own people. With decent intel, That F-16 pilot could be tragically carjacked and murdered when fueling his car. He might open a letter and find photos of his children at the park with their mom.
The point, is that an armed populace is very very deadly and not at all to be trifled with. This doesn’t even consider that the more brutal the depotic government’s crackdown, the more widespread resentment they create.
Also consider this, how effective would a military be when its war factories, repair depots, MRE factories, Ammo factories, etc are all within the combat zone?
I often hear how an armed populace is helpless against a modern military, i suspect war-colleges know differently.
Now he can sit down and chat w/ the killers.
Not to mention that the iranian military doesn’t even approach the capability of ours. In truth the US Military would have a nightmare of a problem in containing an American population in revolt.
The Iranian military would find it impossible. (if they were armed)
And militaries have an alarming habit of joining revolts. IE,,,Yeltsin standing in the tank as they stopped the Gorby symapthizing communists trying to take back control. Citizen militaries are a bad problem for despots.

I feel Mousai’s dead too. Press releases from him to keep up the fight imo are phony.
the city of Qum should disappear in a mushroom cloud
Thanks for the ping!
However in the case of the Honduras deporting Zelaya who was actively working to circumvent their constitution through illegal actions, and thrown out by the military by order from their Supreme Court, then 0booooooombashit is anything but silent. He is doing all he can to destabilize the Honduras and to overturn the rule of law by actively promoting for his fellow commie pig Zelaya to be reinstated.
but we won’t meddle. we will meddle in Honduras and Niger and.... if the leftists are endangered
