I’ll take a monarchy over a theocracy. A republic over a monarchy.

Rather have this guy in charge over there than the mullahs.

My car now has an original style Iranian flag flying behind the American flag to show solidarity with the Iranians. There will be bumper stickers available in a couple of days. Stay tuned.

FREE IRAN!

A few minutes ago I posted a comment on FR questioning how the prince fit into this Iranian situation. I wonder if he has any possibility of gaining power?

only way a prince gains power these days is by running for office. his genes don’t automagically qualify him.

Right you are. End theocracies! Our Founding Fathers were really smart when the wrote that we should never have an official church.

My Iranian friend told me that Mosavi isn’t any better. He was the PM after the Ayatollah took over.

Support the Iranian fight for freedom. Buy a bumper sticker from me in a couple of days.

I imagine the average Iranian long ago began to regret trading the Shah for the Mullahs.

I must admit my ignorance here regarding Iran. I saw that video on Twitter (thanks to Jeff Head) and it just shook me.

I just don't get the “power thing” over in Iran, who is who and who is the more powerful.

But this Prince, so upset for his people being slaughtered in the streets, I just knew he was on the side of freedom.

I think many young and educated Iranians would like a return of the Pahlavis. I have observed among Iranian youngsters I know through family, that there is a markedly revived interest and admiration of the Shah, who symbolizes everything the mullahs aren't. Modernity, Westernization, women rights, prestige, pre-islamic glory etc.

I am being realistic though. He probably would be the No.1 target for terrorists and islamists worldwide.

Iran's future will in the best scenario be a republic with a parliament and a president plus prime minister.

But he still is an important leader for the exiled opposition and a symbol for many Iranians in "old country".

The average Iranian just wants an apartment, a car and a steady paycheck. I don’t think having the 72 virgins is making them riot in the streets.

I tied a long piece of 2" wide green ribbon to my antenna today to show solidarity with the Iranians who fight for Liberty.

"What is interference in others affairs"

That tells me they are looking to us, America, for some reassurance, AT LEAST!

All I hear on MSM is exactly what the Prince stated..."meddling in others affairs". THEY ARE QUOTING US.

America used to be the worlds "police". I must admit, there are times I HATE that. But someone has to take the lead.

Unfortunately, a lot of "Americans" have gone and drank the kool-aide and think tyrants are "cool".

Apparently, it not only affects us, but the world at large.

After they take care of the Monkey and the Mullahs the demonstartors need to meet with Mousavi and ask him if he learned any lessons.
