An interesting article written by an Islamist seeking to maintain Muslim control of Iran while replacing the current corruptocrats and tyrants. The article not only does not mention Islam it completely ignores the Zoroastrian roots of the Iranian people and their absolute hatred of everything Muslim. This is not different culturally from the conditions in Turkey Both are non Islamic nations with corrupt, fundamentalist Islamic governments. One might add London and Paris to the list.
I would offer this observation...the banks in Iran are on the same failure path as Cyprus and Greece had been. At best...within two years, I think the IMF would have to step in and save them. At that point, the IMF could demand structural changes to the government and force the religious folks to step back.
I think a lot of the Europeans are missing that part of the ongoing crisis. Virtually everyone in Iran is moving their cash reserves out of the country, and into other currencies (same thing going on in Turkey as well).
